12-Hexanediol

The Benefits of 1 2 Hexanediol For Skin

When it comes to skincare products, 1 2 Hexanediol is a humectant, emollient and preservative boosting ingredient³ that happens to have an off-putting name. Don’t let that fool you.

Being a humectant means that 1 2 Hexanediol helps to hold moisture in your skin. It pulls the moisture up from the deeper levels of the skin, as well as from the air, to help keep the top layers of your skin from drying out. This makes 1 2 Hexanediol very effective at keeping your skin hydrated and providing long-term moisture.³ When coupled with other humectants, such as caprylyl glycol, it can be extremely beneficial for dry, flaky skin.

Because of its preservative qualities, 1 2 Hexanediol helps to boost the antimicrobial properties of other ingredients in a product. And if that’s not enough, it helps to soothe and soften the skin by creating a protective moisturizing film.³ What’s great about this ingredient is that very little is needed in a product to make it effective.

Why Not Put 1 2 Hexanediol to the Test?

Skin care products like INFERA Super Lift Cream, Hyaluronic Boosting Serum and Active Vitamin C contain 1 2 Hexanediol because they know the benefits this ingredient can bring to the health of your skin. Because it is a safe, non-irritating ingredient, you can feel assured that just because you can’t pronounce it as easily as you would like, it’s not a reason to avoid it.
