Hydrates. Boosts. Protects. One ingredient, three jobs.
Bio-based ingredient derived from sugarcane that hydrates the skin, enhances active absorption, and supports gentle preservation.
Found in: SILK NIACINAMIDE
What does Pentylene Glycol
Derived from sugarcane, this bio-based ingredient hydrates skin, enhances the absorption of Hydrolyzed Silk and Niacinamide, and helps keep the formula fresh, all without harsh preservatives.
Why we chose Pentylene Glycol
We needed an ingredient that could do more with less. Pentylene Glycol allows us to keep the SILK NIACINAMIDE formula minimal while maximizing how well each active performs on your skin.
Key benefits of Pentylene Glycol
Draws water into skin for a plump, smooth texture. Boosts the absorption of Hydrolyzed Silk and Niacinamide so they work harder. Gentle antimicrobial action helps keep the formula pure with minimal preservatives. Plant-based and suitable for even sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Science notes about Pentylene Glycol
Bio-based from sugarcane. Dual hydroxyl groups create the humectant effect. Disrupts microbial cell membranes for gentle antimicrobial action. Low molecular weight enhances stratum corneum penetration. Approved for cosmetic use by both the FDA and EU. SILK NIACINAMIDE uses Pentylene Glycol instead of Propylene Glycol, keeping the formula bio-based throughout.
