1,2-Pentanediol is widely used in cosmetics. It acts as a humectant that can reduce skin moisture loss and increase skin water content. It also has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, which can inhibit bacteria independently or help reduce the dosage of traditional preservatives to minimize irritation. Additionally, it functions as a solubilizer to facilitate the penetration and absorption of active ingredients and improve product transparency. Meanwhile, its addition can optimize the skin feel of emulsions by reducing greasiness, and in sunscreen products, it can enhance water resistance to make the sun protection effect more long-lasting.
