Description

Mono Propylene Glycol (MPG) is a versatile compound commonly used in the fragrance and personal care industries. In perfumes, it acts as a solvent and carrier for fragrance ingredients, stabilizing and enhancing the scent. MPG also functions as a humectant, helping to retain moisture and preserve the integrity of fragrance formulations.

In personal care products, MPG helps maintain skin and hair hydration, improving texture and overall appearance by acting as both a humectant and a solvent.
