Pentylene Glycol - Natural Humectant & Preservative Booster
INCI: Pentylene Glycol
     Humectant No. 520

Pentylene Glycol is a naturally-derived humectant and multifunctional cosmetic ingredient that provides moisturising benefits whilst enhancing preservation systems. Its amphiphilic structure enables superior penetration enhancement and emulsion stabilisation in water-based formulations.

About This Ingredient

This clear, odourless liquid offers formulators a versatile solution for multiple cosmetic challenges. Its unique molecular structure allows it to function simultaneously as a humectant, penetration enhancer, and preservation booster. The ingredient's pH-independent stability makes it suitable for a wide range of formulation conditions.

Pentylene Glycol's natural antimicrobial properties reduce the burden on traditional preservative systems, enabling formulators to create more natural formulations without compromising product safety. Its ability to improve droplet dispersion in oil-in-water emulsions results in more stable, homogeneous products.
