Propylene glycol

Propylene glycol appears frequently as a skin conditioning agent. It is a fragrance ingredient and humectant (helps to retain moisture). It decreases viscosity, which increases fluidity.

It can cause irritation to eyes, lungs and skin. It can cause non-reproductive organ system toxicity.

Watch out for the names 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propanediol, 2-hydroxypropanol, methylethyl glycol, propane-1,2-DIOL, 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,2-propylenglykol (German), alpha-propyleneglycol, dowfrost, and methylethylene glycol
