It works well with every skin type and improves your skin’s natural moisture retention capabilities.
Its emollient property keeps your scalp and hair nourished and hydrated especially, for people with dry and frizzy hair.
It functions as a masking agent and removes product odors. This characteristic is beneficial since it improves the odor of items that have an unpleasant odor.
It functions as a viscosity regulator. It reduces the viscosity of the product, making it simpler to apply, and gives product compositions a gel-like consistency. This provides the items with a thick texture.
It is compatible with other surfactants and active ingredients, thus providing stability to your formulation.
HOW IT WORKS-
It works by absorbing moisture from the air and storing it in your hair and skin. Hence, moisturizing your hair, scalp, and skin.
It helps to reduce moisture loss to the environment by producing a thin, non-glossy protective layer on your skin and hair.
CONCENTRATION AND SOLUBILITY-

It is recommended that it should be used at a concentration of 0.01 to 0.08%.
It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and acetone but is insoluble in volatile oils.
HOW TO USE-

Heat the water and oil phases of your DIY formulation separately.
Add our triethylene glycol to the heated water phase.
Add active and stabilising ingredients to the water phase.
Blend both the phases using a mini-mixer until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. "
