1) Dipropylene glycol is an ideal solvent for many fragrances and cosmetics. This raw material has excellent co-solubility with water, oils, and hydrocarbons, and possesses a mild odor, minimal skin irritation, very low toxicity, a uniform and consistent isomer distribution, and excellent quality.

2) Dipropylene glycol can also serve as a coupling agent and humectant in various cosmetic applications. In the field of perfumes, the usage proportion of dipropylene glycol exceeds 50%; whereas in other application fields, the usage proportion of dipropylene glycol is generally within 10% (by weight). Some specific product application areas include: hair setting lotions, skin cleansers (cold creams, body washes, bath lotions, and skin care lotions), deodorants, face, hand, and body skin care products, moisturizing skin care products, and lipsticks, etc.

3) Dipropylene glycol also holds a place in unsaturated resins and saturated resins. It imparts superior flexibility, crack resistance, and weather resistance to the resins produced. The product's long-term resistance to yellowing is trustworthy.
