Propylene Glycol

(57-55-6)
Propylene glycol has good solubility and less toxicity and irritation, and is widely used as solvents, extraction solvents and preservatives for injections (eg. intramuscular injections, intravenous injections) and non-injectable pharmaceutical preparations (such as oral liquid, ophthalmic preparations, otic preparations, dental preparations, rectovaginal preparations, transdermal preparations, etc.). It is better than glycerol solvent and can dissolve many substances such as corticosteroids (se

Polydextrose

(68424-04-4)
Bulking agent for reduced calorie foods. Polydextrose is a bulking agent that is a randomly bonded conden- sation polymer of dextrose containing small amounts of bound sor- bitol and citric acid. it is a water-soluble powder providing a ph range of 2.5–3.5. it is partially metabolized which results in a caloric value of 1 cal/g. as a reduced-calorie bulking agent, it can partially replace sugars and in some cases fats in reduced-calorie foods. it also functions as a bodying agent and humecta

Polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether

(9004-74-4)
Polyethylene glycol is a polymer of ethylene oxide hydrolysate. It is non-toxic and non-irritating and is widely used in various pharmaceutical preparations. Low-molecular-weight polyethylene glycols are relatively more toxic. Taken together, glycols have relatively low toxicity. Topical application of polyethylene glycol, especially mucosal administration, can cause irritation and pain. In the topical lotion, this product can increase the flexibility of the skin and has a moisturizing effect si

Humectant refers to an ingredient that attracts and retains moisture, helping to maintain the water content of cosmetic products. According to their origin, humectants are categorized as natural, such as glycerin and honey, or synthetic, like propylene glycol. According to their molecular size, humectants can be classified as small-molecule humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, or polymeric humectants, like polyethylene glycol. According to their compatibility, humectants can be water-soluble, like sorbitol, or oil-soluble, such as butylene glycol. " Humectant" on ECHEMl primarily provides raw materials for the humectant.

More Information

A humectant is a crucial ingredient used in various topical dosage forms, particularly in enhancing the solubility of active ingredients in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its primary purpose is to increase the effectiveness of chemical compounds, allowing them to better penetrate the skin and extend their activity time.

Humectants operate by drawing moisture from the environment, creating a hydrating effect that is especially beneficial in countering the dehydrating impact of certain active ingredients like soaps, corticoids, and certain alcohols.

Common humectants

•Oil: Glycerin is a natural humectant that attracts large amounts of water.

•Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide.

•Allantoin: Allantoin has a moisturizing and cuticle softening effect.

•Natural Oils: Vegetable oils, such as olive oil and sweet almond oil, are rich in fatty acids.
