It’s also used as a stabiliser in baked goods, beverages, and dairy products. In cosmetics and personal care, Propylene Glycol helps to soften and smooth skin while keeping formulations stable and evenly mixed. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a safe carrier for active ingredients. It’s also a major component in e-liquids, where it provides a smooth throat hit and enhances flavour delivery.
