Hexylene glycol is an organic compound with two -OH groups, that is why it is called as glycol. It comes as clear liquid with mild/ sweet odor. It functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and viscosity-reducing agent, helping to cleanse, moisturize, and thin out formulations for better absorption. It also has an added benefit of acting as a protective barrier for the skin.
