      • Description

      CAS No.‌: 56-81-5
      A versatile humectant that effectively attracts and retains moisture, enhancing skin hydration, improving barrier function, and optimizing product texture. It serves as a foundational ingredient for moisturizing formulations while acting as a solvent and viscosity modifier.

      ‌Usage‌: Skin care (creams, lotions, serums), hair care (conditioners, styling products), oral care (toothpaste), soap bars, and preservative-boosted systems.

      ‌Specification‌:

      • ‌Purity‌: ≥99.5% (USP/Pharmaceutical grade)
      • ‌Heavy Metals‌: ≤1 ppm (e.g., lead)
      • ‌Microbial Control‌: Complies with pharmacopeial standards (USP/EP)
      • ‌Appearance‌: Colorless, odorless, viscous liquid

      ‌Package‌: 25 kg/drum, 50 kg/drum.

      Safety Notes

      ‌Safety Profile‌:

      • Recognized as safe by FDA/EFSA at standard concentrations (5%–15% in leave-on products).
      • Low irritation potential; rare allergic reactions (<1% incidence).
      • ‌Critical Risk‌: In low-humidity environments (<40%), concentrations >70% may cause reverse hydration, extracting moisture from skin and leading to dryness or irritation.

      ‌Usage Advice‌:

      1. ‌Formulation Guidance‌:
        • Combine with occlusives (e.g., petrolatum) or polysaccharides (e.g., glucan) in dry climates to prevent moisture loss.
        • For acne-prone skin, limit viscosity to ≤2,000 cP (25°C) to minimize comedogenicity.
      2. ‌Incompatibilities‌:
        • Avoid pairing with high-strength exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs >10%) to reduce irritation risk.
        • Do not use industrial-grade glycerin (may contain methanol/heavy metals).
      3. ‌Stability‌: Add 0.1% ethylhexylglycerin to improve photostability and reduce degradation by 74%.
