Dipropylene Glycol LO+ (DPG LO+) is a high-purity product, designed for use in odor-sensitive applications such as fragrances and cosmetics. The material, a distilled product with purity greater than 99.5% as dipropylene glycol, is a liquid that is practically odorless, colorless, water-soluble and hygroscopic that is its advantage in perfumery oils. This grade of DPG was developed to meet the needs of manufacturers who require a consistent quality for their fragrances and personal care products.

DPG LO+ provides excellent co-solvency for water, oils and hydrocarbons, with minimal odor, low skin irritation potential, low toxicity and consistent isomer distribution, making it ideal for use in:

DPG is a cutting agent used to dilute fragrances and essential oils. DPG is most commonly used in making incense. DPG allows the fragrance to bind to the stick or cone and creates a slow burning incense. The ratio used in incense making is 2 parts DPG to 1 part fragrance or essential oil.
