Demystefying Leave-in Conditioner Part 2

Hello hello ladies!

I'm picking up from last week where we discussed leave-ins and what they do. This week i'm continuing and elaborating more on the types of leave-ins available.

As mentioned last week, there are two types of conditioners, protein and moisturising.

Demystifying Propelyne Glycol

Hello hello ladies!

We are continuing with the Demystefying series! Today i'm talking about propeplyne glycol. This post is going to get a bit more sciency and technical so that you can better understand this ingredient.

What is propelyne glycol?

Propelyne glycol is an organic chemical compound that is created through the hydration propelyne oxide (basically adding hydrogen to propelyne oxide) and its chemical structure is C₃H₈O₂ . It is found in almost all cosmetic products ranging from shampoos, conditioners, moisturisers to body lotions and soaps. You will even find it in food! It also goes by the names of propelyne glycone, 2-hydroxypropanol, methylethy glycol, 1, 2 propanediol, propane -1, 2-diol, PEG  (polyethylene glycol), and PPG (poly propelyne glygol). It is a colourless, odourless liquid and is completely water soluble.
