CAS #504-63-2
2-Methyl-1,3-Propanediol High Purity (MPOH) is a colorless, low viscosity liquid diol with low toxicity and odor, enhancing compatibility in cosmetic formulations. It serves as an emulsifier, emollient, and humectant in cosmetics and make-up products, with a balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that provide solvency to both polar and nonpolar components. MPOH can replace various glycols in products like liquid laundry detergents, shampoos, skin creams, and sun care products. It can be used as a lubricant, carrier solvent, humectant/moisturizer, solubilizer/solvent, and coupling agent.
