Hexylene glycol (CAS 107-41-5)
QUICK LINKS
Hexylene glycol is characterized as a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid that finds extensive use in numerous industries, such as cosmetics and personal care products. It′s a category of glycol often utilized as a solvent, humectant, and an agent to control viscosity. Moreover, it acts as a reagent in the synthesis of diverse chemicals. With regard to scientific research applications, hexylene glycol serves as a solvent to extract an array of compounds from plant and animal tissues. It′s also employed as a reagent in the creation of various chemicals, including agrochemicals and fragrances. In the realm of cosmetics and personal care products, hexylene glycol functions as a preservative. It′s a humectant that aids in skin moisture retention and enhances skin texture and appearance. It operates by forming a barrier on the skin to impede moisture loss. Additionally, it helps to decrease the skin′s surface tension, thereby facilitating the penetration of other ingredients into the skin.
