Corn-Derived Propanediol

INCI: Propanediol

Naturally-Sourced/Derived Ingredient

What is propanediol?

Propanediol (1,3-propanediol) is a clear, light liquid. Ours is made from non-GMO corn: plant sugars from the corn are fermented, then purified. It replaces propylene glycol, which we exclude from all our formulas, along with butylene glycol.

How it looks and feels on skin

  • A humectant: helps skin attract and hold on to moisture, so it feels hydrated and smooth.
  • Leaves a fresh, dewy finish, with a light, non-sticky feel.
  • By keeping skin hydrated, helps support the skin barrier.
  • Helps our natural preservatives work well, so each formula stays fresh.
