Multifunctional Palm-free Diol
As a natural, transparent and colorless ingredient, Cosphaderm Propanediol (INCI: Propanediol) is water-soluble, making it suitable for both skin and hair care, per the company.
Functionally, it serves as a:
- moisturizer,

Additionally, it is said to enhance the efficiency of preservative systems. It also is COSMOS and Natrue compliant.
Palm-free, Sustainable Solution
