Humectants are hydrating agents used in cosmetics to attract and retain moisture from the environment or deeper skin layers, ensuring long-lasting hydration. Common humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and propylene glycol work by binding water to the skin’s surface, plumping fine lines and improving elasticity. Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin, they’re found in serums, moisturizers, and masks.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera Gel is a clear, jelly-like substance extracted from the inner leaf of the Aloe vera plant. It is widely used in skincare for its soothing, hydrating, and healing properties. Rich in vitamins (especially A, C, and E), enzymes, and amino acids, Aloe Vera Gel is commonly applied to treat sunburns, minor cuts, skin irritation, and dryness. It also has mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, making it a popular natural remedy in both cosmetic and medicinal products.
Ammonium Lactate
Ammonium Lactate is the ammonium salt of lactic acid, appearing as a clear, hygroscopic liquid or syrupy solution. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries primarily for its moisturizing, pH adjusting, and antimicrobial properties. In topical formulations, it acts as a keratolytic agent to help exfoliate and hydrate skin, making it popular in treatments for dry, scaly, or ichthyotic skin conditions. Its biocompatibility and mild acidic nature make it a versatile ingredient in various industrial and personal care products.
MonoPropylene Glycol
MonoPropylene Glycol (MPG) is a clear, colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid commonly used as a solvent, humectant, and antifreeze agent. It exhibits excellent moisture retention, low volatility, and high boiling point, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. MPG is valued for its low toxicity and biodegradability.
