About Glycol

Glycol is an aliphatic diol.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formula and skin's surface to help maintain hydration, to dissolve other ingredients for a uniform formula, and to adjust the formula's viscosity and flow. [3] It is described as a liquid with no distinct odor, so the order and temperature in which it is mixed with other liquid ingredients affect the uniformity of the finished product.[2]
