Mono Propylene Glycol (MPG)
Monopropylene glycol is a derivative of propylene oxide (PO) and is produced in a two-step process. The first step is the reaction of PO with water in to a mixture of MPG and DPG and the second step is the distillation and purification of the mixture in to its two separate components.
MPG is widely used as ingredient in a diverse range of cosmetics and personal care products. It provides outstanding functionality as a solvent, coupling agent, carrier, emulsion stabilizer, dispersant, softening agent, viscosity modifier and humectants.
It is also used in oral care (mouth washers, toothpastes), skin care (creams, lotions and oils), deodorants and anti-perspirants (roll & stick), hair care (shampoo, conditioner and styler, coloring items), shaving (creams, foams, gels, after shaves), bath and shower soaps, gels and moisturizers, body care (wipers, antiseptics), cleaners and disinfectants.
