Zemea® propanediol helps cosmetic formulators fulfill their sustainability goals without compromising performance or quality. This 100% plant-based ingredient is used in a variety of cosmetic applications as a carrier, humectant, solvent and emollient. Zemea® propanediol promotes solubility and reduces skin irritation.
A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment based on ISO 14040 guidelines was completed at the Loudon, Tennessee facility where Zemea® propanediol is produced. Zemea® propanediol was shown to produce 47% less greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based 1,3-propanediol, and 42% less greenhouse gas emissions than propylene glycol (PG).
Combining high performance and a favorable environmental profile, Zemea® propanediol is a natural choice for cosmetic applications. Visit zemea-performs.com for formulation examples and technical information.
