Propylene Carbonate

Propylene carbonate is a highly polar, long-lasting solvent. It forms a protective film on the skin that prevents water loss and helps to smooth and soften skin. It's a colourless liquid with a high boiling point and low vapour pressure that is low in toxicity, biodegradable, and non-corrosive.

INCI Name- Propylene Carbonate

Molecular Formulate- C4H6O3

Alternative Names- 1, 2-dihydroxypropane; 1, 2-propanediol; Methyl glycol; Trimethyl glycol

Purity of the ingredients- 99%

Country of Origin- India

BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS-

• Our propylene carbonate helps to give a rich, vibrant look in lipsticks, eye shadows, and mascaras. 
• It blends in so well with the spots on the skin that they are nearly invisible.
• It improves the absorption of active substances in a product to increase its potency.
• It is chemically stable, so it does not cause any harm to the skin.
• It dissolves easily with the other substances and is a colorless, odorless, and non-corrosive liquid that prevents water loss from the skin.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works as a solvent, allowing other chemicals in the composition to dissolve without affecting the other contents.
• It works to reduce the density of the composition and thin it down so that the product becomes more spreadable when applied to the skin or hair.

CONCENTRATION AND SOLUBILITY-

• It is recommended that it should be used at a concentration of 5%.
• It is soluble in water, alcohol, and oil.

HOW TO USE-

• Mix our propylene carbonate with water in the recommended concentration and stir until a homogeneous mixture is created.
• Add other surfactants and enhancing ingredients like essential oils, depending on the product you need, and mix properly.
• Add this mixture to the warm base of the product and stir until the desired thickness and texture are obtained.
