Product Picture
Details
Zemea® propanediol is a versatile, 100% plant-based humectant for cosmetic formulations. Its benefits include high purity, lack of skin irritation or sensitization, improved humectancy and excellent sensory characteristics. Studies also have shown that Zemea® propanediol can boost the efficacy of preservatives and potentially reduce the amount of preservatives needed in formulations. Zemea® propanediol is certified natural by the Natural Products Association (NPA) and considered a naturally-derived organic ingredient under the definitions of ISO 16128-1. It can replace petroleum-based glycols such as propylene glycol, butylene glycol and glycerin in formulations.

Benefits:
  • No skin irritation or sensitization
  • Excellent sensory characteristics
  • Enhanced preservative efficacy
  • Improved humectancy
  • Better viscosity
  • Enhanced clarity
  • Excellent cloud point
  • Increased foaming (if desired)
  • Freeze/thaw protection
  • Heat stability
