Has some considerations

Description

A skin conditioning agent, solvent, humectant.

Benefits

Softens and hydrates skin.

Considerations

• Skin Penetration May be absorbed through the skin and bring other cheimcals with it. • Allergies Some may experience allergic reactions or skin irritation from propylene glycol. • GMOs Commonly derived from bioengineered materials. • Acute Toxicity Ingestion or injection of high amounts of propylene glycol can cause organ failure.
