Unveiling the Science Behind Skincare: Dipropylene Glycol
At Aloderma, we believe in farm-fresh transparency. That means not only using the highest quality, organically-grown aloe vera in our products, but also ensuring you understand every ingredient that touches your skin. Today, we're delving into the world of Dipropylene Glycol (DPG), a common skincare ingredient found in our Aloe Brightening Serum, Aloe Firming Serum, Aloe Hydrating Serum, and Aloe Soothing Serum.
While the name might sound intimidating, DPG is a simple, colorless liquid that plays a vital role in delivering the benefits you love in our aloe vera-based products. Here's how this science translates to real-life skincare magic:
- Enhanced Delivery: Imagine DPG as a tiny ferryboat. It helps shuttle the hero ingredients, like our organic aloe vera, deeper into the skin's layers. This ensures you get the full benefits of the product's powerhouses, promoting a more even and effective application.
- Lightweight Hydration: DPG is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. This translates to a lightweight boost of hydration without that greasy feeling. It also helps other hydrating ingredients in our formulas, like aloe vera, perform their best.
- Texture Magic: Formulating skincare products with a pleasing texture is an art, and DPG plays a part. It helps create a smooth, lightweight feel that absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable.
So, the next time you reach for your favorite Aloderma serum or essence, remember the tiny but mighty DPG working behind the scenes to deliver a spa-like experience from the comfort of your home. It's all part of our commitment to farm-to-skin transparency and formulating with the best ingredients nature, and a little bit of science, have to offer.
