TOPLUS^® Triethylene Glycol Uses

What is Triethylene Glycol?
Triethylene Glycol is a Colorless and transparent liquid, also known as TEG.

What are the uses of Triethylene Glycol?

Triethylene Glycol TEG is widely used in cosmetics as a highly effective moisturizer, solvent, and viscosity modifier to enhance the user experience, stability, and efficacy of products.

- Triethylene glycol, as a highly effective moisturizer, forms a moisturizing film on the skin surface due to its strong hygroscopic and water-locking abilities, continuously attracting and retaining moisture to prevent water loss.

- As a penetration enhancer, triethylene glycol helps promote the skin penetration of other active ingredients (such as vitamins and plant extracts), enhancing their efficacy.

- Furthermore, it can also act as an antifreeze/cryoprotectant, lowering the freezing point of water-based formulations and preventing freezing or phase separation during low-temperature storage or transportation.

What are the benefits of Triethylene Glycol?

-Triethylene glycol possesses excellent moisturizing properties, significantly enhancing both immediate and long-lasting skin hydration.

-It also exhibits excellent solubility and compatibility, readily miscible with water, alcohols, glycerin, and various cosmetic ingredients. This makes it a valuable tool for formulators in achieving complex formulations, contributing to improved product transparency and stability.

-Furthermore, triethylene glycol demonstrates good stability, being resistant to volatility and oxidative rancidity, thus helping to maintain product performance stability throughout its shelf life.
