Question
Regarding Dipropylene glycol (Product ID 488), can this be mixed into cosmetics? I saw in the product details that it states "Usage Rate: 1-100% (for mixing with perfume only)".
Answer
Based on the product information provided for Dipropylene glycol (Product ID 488), the description explicitly states that its usage rate of 1-100% is "for mixing with perfume only". It is primarily suitable for use as a base or solvent for perfumes to help dissolve the fragrance and act as a fixative to make the scent last longer.
While Dipropylene glycol can have other applications in cosmetics generally (such as a solvent, humectant, or viscosity-reducing agent), the specific product you are asking about is described and intended for use in perfume formulations.
