Pentylene Glycol Green is not only a \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehumectant\u003c\/strong\u003e but also an outstanding \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esolvent\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its special feature is that it is not only soluble in water, but also in oil – it is therefore \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esurface-active\u003c\/strong\u003e and acts similarly to a surfactant. This makes it easier to dissolve or emulsify poorly water-soluble raw materials and active ingredients in the water phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is also very popular for \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ealternative preservation\u003c\/strong\u003e and as a preservative booster, as it is particularly effective \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eagainst bacteria\u003c\/strong\u003e. Due to its good water solubility, it can be used in serums and tonics, for example, without causing turbidity. With Pentylene Glycol Green, water-clear gel formulations with an appealing texture and luxurious application feel can be produced effortlessly. Due to its solvent properties, it can also be used to make products more transparent, clearer, or thinner – e.g., tonics, sprays, or surfactant formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBe careful when using it in emulsions. Due to its surface-active properties, it supports the emulsifier in forming the emulsion; however, it also slightly thins the emulsion and can have a \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edestabilizing\u003c\/strong\u003e effect if the concentration is too high, and it can also make the emulsion more transparent (\"glassy\"). However, at low dosages – as a preservative booster (1–2%) – no problems are generally to be expected. Here, it could be supplemented with, for example, Propanediol Green. Due to its pronounced solvent properties, it should also be kept in mind that it can be slightly irritating to the skin in high concentrations (6–7%). This is usually not a problem, except for sensitive skin, the eye area, or barrier-impaired skin. However, we usually recommend the combination with \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/produkt\/preblend-aqua\/\" title=\"preblend-aqua\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/produkt\/preblend-aqua\/\"\u003ePreblend Aqua\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, as this achieves better broad-spectrum efficacy against all germs and the dosage can be reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother interesting area of application is as an extraction agent for plants. It can be used alone or in combination with alcohol and\/or water. Due to its pronounced lipophilic (fat-loving) and hydrophilic (water-loving) properties, it is possible to dissolve a multitude of different ingredients from plants. Furthermore, the extract obtained in this way is excellently \"self-preserved\" and highly bioavailable, as the pentylene glycol increases the absorption of active ingredients by the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compared to \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/produkt\/propandiol-green\/\" title=\"propandiol-green\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/produkt\/propandiol-green\/\"\u003ePropanediol\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003c\/strong\u003e pentylene glycol feels a little \"richer\" (\"oiler\") and stickier on the skin.
