Water-propylene glycol extracts are concentrated extracts from medicinal plant materials, obtained using dihydric propylene glycol alcohol, highly purified, in combination with water.
Propylene glycol itself is a moisture-retaining agent, a co-preservative, and can also serve as a conductor of some biologically active substances through the skin barrier.
This is a safe extractant, a sweetish, colorless, odorless, non-toxic substance, registered as a food additive E1520. Propylene glycol is widely used in the cosmetics and perfume industries as a carrier, softener and humectant in shampoos, creams, toothpastes, lipsticks, tonics, and lotions.
The advantage of propylene glycol extracts over conventional alcohol extracts

- do not separate cosmetic emulsions, easily integrating into water-based products;

- non-toxic and do not irritate the skin;

- have a low cost;

- capable of accumulating both hydrophilic and many lipophilic substances (water- and fat-soluble vitamins, beta-carotene, mineral salts, alkaloids in the form of alkalis, organic acids, sugars, phenolic compounds and polyphenols, including flavonoids, terpenes, amino acids and peptides)

- Thanks to the extractant carrier, they promote the penetration of the biologically active substances of the extract into the skin.
