Moisturizer with antimicrobial effect

CremerOL 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from CREMER OLEO has a variety of outstanding properties that make it an ideal ingredient in cosmetics: The transparent and almost odorless liquid has a demonstrably high antimicrobial effect while offering good skin compatibility. As a result, many formulations require fewer preservatives. 

1,3-propanediol has moisturizing properties. It mixes well with other cosmetic ingredients and can even enhance their effect. In shampoos, 1,3-propanediol reduces the viscosity. This simplifies application and allows manufacturers to use less sodium chloride (NaCl).
