Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I want to try to duplicate, or come close to, a topical facial product that contains propylene glycol. I've read about ( " the most common moisture-carrying vehicle other than water in cosmetics, with better permeation through the skin than glycerin), and I've found where to buy it. But that's all I know about it, and I don't know how to use it. It is way down on the list of ingredients, just before various preservatives. I wonder if glycerin would work as well since apparently it is not used in a very high concentration. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germaben II (INCI name: Propylene Glycol (and) olidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben) Germaben II-E (INCI name: Propylene Glycol (and) olidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben) Liquid Germall Plus (INCI name: Propylene Glycol (and) olidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate) Could that be the source? If not, you can use glycerin. Maurice -------------------------------------------------------- Maurice O.
