Product Description
Refined Di Propylene Glycol (DPG) — a multifunctional ingredient widely used across cosmetics, personal care, and fragrance formulations. Clear, odourless, and of low volatility, DPG is highly valued for its stability and ability to improve the performance and longevity of formulations.
Our premium-grade DPG is renowned for its excellent solvent and carrier properties, making it ideal for dissolving and delivering fragrance oils, essential oils, and active ingredients. It also functions as a humectant, helping to retain moisture and support skin and hair hydration.
As a skin conditioning agent, Di Propylene Glycol enhances smoothness, improves texture, and contributes to the overall sensorial profile of formulations. Its compatibility with both natural and synthetic ingredients makes it a versatile and reliable choice for perfumery, skincare, and haircare applications.

Frequently asked questions
What is Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) used for?
DPG is a clear, odourless, low-volatility solvent used to dissolve and carry fragrance oils, essential oils and actives. It is a standard base in reed diffusers, room sprays and perfumery, and also appears in skincare and haircare.
Why is DPG used in reed diffusers?
It mixes well with fragrance oils, is odourless so it does not change the scent, and evaporates slowly, so it helps the fragrance travel up the reeds and last longer.
Does DPG do anything in skincare?
Yes. As well as being a solvent, it works as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent, helping hold moisture and giving a smoother texture. It is compatible with both natural and synthetic ingredients.
What pack sizes are available?
From 1 kg up to 25 kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
