Unscented Carrier Oil for Diluting Concentrated Oils and Enhancing Fragrance Longevity
Description:
Dipropylene glycol (DPG) is an organic compound widely used as a solvent in fragrances. When combined with carrier oils, DPG effectively dilutes concentrated fragrance oils, allowing the scent to disperse gradually. It is a preferred ingredient in perfumes and body oils due to its odorless, colorless nature, high boiling point, and low toxicity. DPG seamlessly blends with essential oils and fragrance oils, ensuring the fragrance molecules stay intact while prolonging the scent's longevity. It adds no unwanted odor and is gentle on the skin, making it ideal for various applications.
