Propylene glycol in perfume is a colorless, almost odorless viscous liquid. It does not irritate the skin, but gently irritates the eyes. It has a slightly sweet taste and in some cases is used as a food additive. Propylene glycol is very stable in the laboratory. It has high boiling point and low steam pressure. It is also soluble in other substances and is completely soluble in water.
Propylene glycol is a by-product of the production of propylene glycol, which is formed in a process of hydrolysis of propylene oxide. The properties of propylene glycol complement it for many specific applications in many different industries. It has many applications in products such as antifreeze, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, aircraft antifreeze, perfumes and personal care products. This substance is effective in the manufacture of industrial soaps and also in the refinery industry, which is used as a solvent for the extraction of aromatic substances.Propylene glycol plays an important role in perfumes this is a Applications of monopropylene glycol.
It is a high purity product designed for use in odor sensitive applications such as perfumes and cosmetics. This substance is a distilled product with a purity of more than 99.5% as a liquid that contains fine dust, which has the advantage of aromatic oils.
Here are some ways to use propylene glycol: – Propylene glycol is used in perfumes to connect and carry perfume elements, usually with one or more essential oils or perfume oils. – This substance is a kind of organic chemical compound that is often used as a solvent. Available in two grades, industrial grade and perfume grade. Which in perfume grade is only suitable for use in perfumes.
– This substance is used as a solvent in perfume grade because it is odorless and colorless and has a high boiling point and low toxicity. Not only can it act as a carrier, but it is also a diluent or compound used to dilute the resistance of perfume oils.
– This combination can be used by both home perfume makers and commercial fragrance makers. Propylene glycol can bind and transport both essential oils and aromatic oils (mixed essential oils).
– This compound is used in perfumes due to its ability to help bind to perfume molecules and create a slower dispersion. The strength of a perfume can be changed by increasing or decreasing the ratio of propylene glycol in the formula.
The main ratio of the perfume of the three essential oils to the seven parts of propylene glycol is the degree of fragrance. They disintegrate in a non-reactive container and are emptied into an UV-resistant bottle such as amber.
A complete test by perfumers to use this substance shows its safety, strength, suitability, stability and success in perfume.
Use of propylene glycol in products containing perfume With excellent solubility for water, oils and hydrocarbons, with minimal odor, low skin irritation potential, low toxicity and continuous isomer distribution, it is ideal for use in:
Propylene glycol is present in perfumes and colognes in rolls or bottles.
Causes fragrance in skin care products (creams, lotions, cosmetics).
Used in deodorants, antiperspirants such as (roll, wood deodorant).
Used in hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, coloring products).
Used in shaving products (creams, foams, gels, lotions after shaving).
Also works in bath products.
Propylene glycol is also used as a moisturizer, emulsifier and carrier of aromatic oils in scented candles.
