Propylene Glycol Dicocoate

Product Description

Propylene Glycol Dicocoate is a lightweight emollient ester derived from propylene glycol and coconut fatty acids. Widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, it is valued for its excellent skin-conditioning properties, elegant sensory profile, and ability to support long-lasting moisturization.

As a lipid-rich emollient, it helps form a lightweight protective film on the skin surface, supporting moisture retention and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This contributes to improved skin comfort, enhanced softness, and a smooth, conditioned appearance without excessive greasiness.

Propylene Glycol Dicocoate is particularly suitable for moisturizing skincare, body care, cleansing products, and barrier-support formulations. Its balanced emolliency and excellent spreadability make it an effective ingredient for products designed to improve skin texture and overall sensory performance.

Our High Purity Propylene Glycol Dicocoate is supplied directly from the manufacturer, ensuring reliable quality, consistent performance, and excellent compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic systems.
