Propylénglikol

Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. It is used to create polyesters and as a base material for antifreeze and de-icing solutions. Propylene glycol is also used in the food industry as a food additive (E1520), for example, to dissolve artificial flavors and colors. In cosmetics and personal care products, it is used as a humectant, solvent, and viscosity-decreasing agent. It can be found in a wide variety of products, including moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, and toothpaste. Propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in food. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to propylene glycol. In rare cases, high doses of propylene glycol can cause central nervous system depression, seizures, and other adverse effects. It is important to use products containing propylene glycol as directed and to consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
