Propylene Glycol

What is Propylene glycol (PG)?
Propylene Glycol is a fragrance ingredient and skin condition agent. Ideally this is a vegetable glycerin mixed with grain alcohol, both of which are natural, but usually is a synthetic petrochemical mix used as a humectant. Next to water it is the most common moisture-carrying vehicle used in cosmetics.

• Hazard: 4
• Ingredients:
- Propylene glycol (PG)

• Product Types:
- Deodorants, facial moisturizers, hair color, anti-aging, cleansers, conditioners and many other products

• Health Concerns:
- Main concern is it is an irritant to the skin
- Allergic reactions
- A possible neurotoxin
- Linked to kidney and liver abnormalities
- Can inhibit skin cell growth, directly altering cell membranes

The main concern for this ingredient is it can be an irritant to the skin. It can be argued that this ingredient is used in antifreeze but this ingredient is getting confused with ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is a more common ingredient used in antifreeze which in fact is very toxic. Propylene glycol can be used as an anti-freeze but this propylene glycol based anti-freeze is recommended because it is safer than ethylene glycol should pets ingest it. Propylene glycol in its synthetic form is made of petrochemicals which have many other health concerns as well as contamination issues.
