Propylene glycol (PG) is a common humectant and solvent for water-based cosmetics. Pair with glycerine for sensory balance. Always add a suitable preservative for water-based leave-ons and validate pH.

Steps

  1. Blend PG and glycerine into ~80 g water until clear.
  2. Top up to 100 g with water.
  3. Add water-soluble actives (e.g. niacinamide) if desired; preserve and adjust pH.
