Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a clear, colorless, and nearly odorless liquid widely used in the fragrance and cosmetic industries. Known for its excellent solvent properties and low toxicity, DPG is an ideal carrier for essential oils and aromatic compounds, making it a staple in the formulation of perfumes, body sprays, and incense. Its high boiling point and low volatility ensure a smooth and long-lasting diffusion of fragrance, helping to enhance and stabilize scent profiles.
In perfumery, DPG acts as a diluent, ensuring that concentrated fragrance oils are evenly dispersed and more skin-friendly. It also minimizes irritation and enhances the performance of the fragrance on the skin by slowing down evaporation. Beyond its use in perfumes, DPG is commonly found in lotions, deodorants, and room sprays due to its moisturizing properties and compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients.
DPG is valued for its safety, stability, and versatility. It blends well with both water- and oil-based ingredients, making it a preferred choice for formulators aiming for consistency, efficacy, and cost-efficiency in scent-based or personal care products.
