Background information on use in cosmetics

Polypropylene glycol (PPGs) and their derivatives are used in cosmetic products like the polyethylene glycols (PEGs). They are often used in cosmetic products since they have a broad range of viscosity and solubility properties and have a very good skin tolerance. As water soluble, non-greasy substances, polypropylene glycols are suited for many cosmetic purposes. The liquid PPGs serve, for instance, as solubilizers and solvents.
