Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a high-quality, low-odor, and colorless liquid solvent widely used in perfumery and personal care formulations. Known for its excellent solvency, stability, and mildness, DPG helps evenly dilute fragrance oils and essential oils, ensuring a smooth, consistent scent release.
Properties:
DPG is hygroscopic, low-volatility, and non-greasy, making it an ideal carrier for fragrance blends. Its slow evaporation rate allows for controlled fragrance diffusion and a smoother dry-down.
Other Names:
1,1’-Oxybis-2-propanol, DPG, Dipropylene Glycol LO+
Suitable to Produce:
Perfume oil bases, attars, incense oils, home fragrance blends, diffuser oils, room sprays, and other oil-based fragrance applications.
Odor Profile:
Virtually odorless, neutral base
Function:
Acts as a solvent and fixative — improves stability, prevents fragrance separation, and helps control evaporation.
Usage Level:
Typically used at 20–80% in fragrance oil bases, depending on desired concentration and viscosity.
Appearance:
Clear, colorless, slightly viscous liquid
