3-Hexyloxypropylene glycol

3-Hexyloxypropylene glycol (CAS 10305-38-1 ), commercially recognized as Hexylglycerin, is a glycol ether used across personal care, pharmaceutical, and food-contact applications.

It functions as a humectant, solvent, and multifunctional preservative booster that enhances the efficacy of primary preservation systems in various industrial formulations.

In cosmetic formulations, Hexylglycerin is incorporated into emulsions, serums, and leave-on skin care products to improve moisture retention while boosting antimicrobial performance.

It specifically enhances the performance of phenoxyethanol and other preservatives. Formulators in the pharmaceutical sector use it as a solvent and carrier in topical preparations.

In these applications, controlled delivery and skin compatibility are critical sourcing criteria. In rinse-off personal care products, it contributes to emulsification and skin-feel.

Food-contact and nutraceutical applications leverage its solvent properties for flavor and active ingredient delivery in encapsulated formats for high-performance results.

3-Hexyloxypropylene glycol is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet purity requirements.

These grades ensure compliance in regulated formulation environments. Packaging typically ranges from small drums for specialty formulators to bulk quantities for industrial production.
