Question
What is the current availability status for Pentylene Glycol (retail size) and AminoWash™? If retail Pentylene Glycol is unavailable, is there a recommended alternative that functions as a preservative booster and penetration enhancer?
Answer
Regarding your inquiry:
- Pentylene Glycol (Product ID 886): This product is currently only available for bulk purchase (pack size). The retail size has been discontinued.
- Replacement for Pentylene Glycol: Caprylyl Glycol (Product ID 642) is available as a replacement. It functions as a preservative booster and helps with penetration enhancement, similar to Pentylene Glycol, but is significantly cheaper.
- AminoWash™ (Product ID 513): This product is available as usual.
