Features

1,3-Propanediol (PDO) is a versatile, bio-based organic compound commonly used as a natural alternative to petroleum-derived glycols in cosmetics, skincare, and industrial manufacturing. Derived from renewable corn sugar, it is prized for being non-toxic, biodegradable, and less irritating to sensitive skin compared to traditional ingredients like propylene glycol.

Additional Information

Common Uses and Benefits

In consumer products, 1,3-propanediol serves multiple roles to improve both performance and user experience.

Humectant & Moisturizer: It draws moisture into the skin and hair, providing hydration without the sticky or "tacky" feeling often associated with glycerin.
Green Solvent: Acting as a carrier, it helps dissolve active ingredients uniformly in formulations like serums, lotions, and shampoos.
Preservative Booster: It can enhance the efficacy of preservatives, potentially allowing for lower concentrations of those chemicals in a finished product.
Industrial Building Block: Beyond personal care, it is used to synthesize polymers like polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), as well as in adhesives, coatings, and anti-freeze solutions.
