    Hexylene Glycol is a versatile, low molecular weight glycol used widely in cosmetics and personal care products. It acts as a solvent, humectant, and co-emulsifier, improving product consistency, stability, and absorption. Its ability to reduce surface tension makes it an excellent carrier for actives in both skincare and haircare formulations.

    Commonly Used In:

    • Facial serums and emulsions
    • Makeup and foundations
    • Hair sprays and scalp tonics
    • Hydrating mists and toners
    • Rinse-off and leave-on treatments

  • What is Hexylene Glycol?

    Hexylene Glycol is a diol with both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an effective ingredient for solubilizing hard-to-dissolve materials. It enhances the delivery of active ingredients, contributes to skin softness, and plays a key role in maintaining formula clarity and consistency.

    Why Use Hexylene Glycol?

    • Solubilizer: Dissolves both water- and oil-soluble ingredients
    • Humectant: Attracts and retains moisture in skin and hair
    • Penetration Enhancer: Improves delivery of actives
    • Emulsifier Booster: Helps stabilize surfactant and emulsion systems
    • Versatile Compatibility: Works in water-based, alcohol-based, and oil-based formulas

    Performance Highlights

    • Improves glide and skin feel in serums and emulsions
    • Maintains clarity in water-thin systems
    • Enhances performance of preservatives and surfactants

    Additional Application Examples:

    • Clear toners and micellar waters
    • Hydroalcoholic hair and scalp sprays
    • Foundation and BB/CC creams
    • Exfoliating and resurfacing serums

    Formulation Tip:

    Add directly to the water phase or as a solubilizing aid for actives and preservatives. Can be used with glycols, surfactants, and hydrotropes for maximum system clarity.

Hexylene Glycol

I found your product to be of a high quality. Feels really good to the touch and of low odour. However, the odour presented was not as expected, it wasn't sweet like it should be. Rather a mild reminiscent smell of ant poison. Yet the item performed well in the formula produced, thanks all.
