Solvents

Stabilizers

Propylene Carbonate is added to cosmetics for various reasons: 1. Solvent: It is used to dissolve various substances and ingredients that are not soluble in water or other solvents. This helps to create stable cosmetic product formulas. 2. Binder: In transparent makeup products, such as eyeshadows or lipsticks, it can be used as a binder to help ensure a uniform consistency of the product and prevent separation of different components. 3. Viscosity regulator: It can be added to change the consistency of the product, to ensure better application or to improve the texture. 4. Substantive: It can be used as an alternative to other solvents that may be less safe or potentially harmful. It can replace substances such as ethylene glycol or methyl chloride, which may have safety restrictions in cosmetic products.
