Product Description

Propylene Glycol Dilaurate is a lightweight emollient ester derived from propylene glycol and lauric acid. Widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, it is valued for its excellent spreadability, skin-conditioning properties, and ability to support long-lasting moisturization while maintaining a smooth, non-greasy skin feel.

As a multifunctional emollient, it helps form a lightweight protective layer on the skin surface, supporting moisture retention and enhancing skin comfort. Its elegant sensory profile improves softness and contributes to a refined, conditioned appearance without excessive heaviness.
