Propylene Glycol: Humectant and Delivery Helper
Two jobs at once explain its popularity. As a humectant, propylene glycol draws water into the upper layers of skin; as a solvent it keeps difficult actives ā vitamin C especially ā dissolved and evenly distributed instead of settling out of the bottle.
That second job is why this page reads like a SkinCeuticals index. C E Ferulic, Phyto Corrective Gel, Hydrating B5 Gel, HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan and Discoloration Defense all use it, and Obagi's Professional-C Serum 15% follows the same logic.
Can propylene glycol irritate sensitive skin?
It can, in a minority of people, and it is a recognized contact allergen at higher concentrations. Most leave-on skincare uses it well below those levels, but if you have reacted to it before, our team can point you toward alternatives on the shelf.
