As an alkanol, it has high compatibility with most raw materials in personal care products. 1,2-Pentanediol is an excellent humectant with an antibacterial effect. It has a synergistic effect with traditional preservatives and helps to reduce the usage of classic preservatives in the formulation.

In sunscreen products, it improves water resistance and solubility of ingredients. 1,2-Pentanediol is more stable and has a better appearance than the formula. It also reduces the viscosity caused by adding polymer to the formulation.

Properties:
