Elixi-CARE PDO (INCI: Propanediol) is a 100% naturally derived, high-purity 1,3-propanediol. Produced through the fermentation of GMO-free natural glycerol, it serves as a multifunctional “green” engine, acting as a high-performance humectant, solvent, and preservation booster with a superior skin-feel profile.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Superior Sensory Profile: Unlike synthetic glycols or heavy glycerin, Elixi-CARE PDO provides a soft, silky skin feel. It delivers intense moisturization to both skin and hair without any associated tackiness, stickiness, or filming.
-
Preservation Synergist: It is a powerful booster for antimicrobial systems. It is particularly effective when paired with Phenoxyethanol or Benzyl Alcohol, where it destabilizes microbial membranes, allowing for a significant reduction in the concentration of these traditional preservatives.
-
Active Ingredient Carrier: Its molecular structure makes it an ideal solvent and carrier, enhancing the solubility and delivery of botanical extracts and high-performance actives.
