Dipropylene Glycol (DPG)

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is virtually odourless with a slightly-ethereal-green solvent note. Interesting as a versatile solvent as it mixes with most essential oils but is also water soluble. Acts as stabilizer for compounds due to its viscosity when used around 30% in a compound. Not recommended for excessive use in compounds for cold-process soaps where over 5% can start to slow or inhibit tracing/saponification. Avoid in oily or wax based products such as candles, wax melts, massage oils, lipsticks etc. due to solubility problems.

Important Notes:

End application data applies to experiments carried out by the authors or extrapolated from those experiments using computer algorithms. As application product formulations vary widely this information is only a general guide.

Full testing by both perfumers- flavorists and end users is the only proven method to ensuring a perfume or flavours safety- strength- suitability- stability and success.

Legislation and regulations vary widely and change with time so it is your duty to check this.
