1,2 Hexanediol

 
   
 
  The full ingredient display system was enforced in 2008, and since then,
many cosmetic companies have looked for substitutes for parabens.
However, it turned out that those substitutes also had lots of problems, and
finally "1,2-Hexanediol", which was already used widely in France, Germany
and Japan, was selected as a substitute.

1,2-Hexanediol is a mandatory ingredient with no harm to a human body that
plays the role as an antiseptic, a sterilizer and a moisture material for
cosmetics, living products and other products that make contacts with human
bodies. Especially, since cosmetics are very sensitive to odors, if an additive
ingredient has strong smells, it can suppress the original odor of the
cosmetic.
So far, although many cosmetic companies have developed and
manufactured 1,2-Hexanediol, they failed to remove the odors.

However, Chungdo Fine Chemicals has successfully developed high quality
1,2-Hexanediol with no color/odors but purity of 99.7% after three years of
hardwork. In the past, the entire amount of 1,2-Hexanediol was imported from
Japan, but nowadays our technology enables us to produce them and even
exporting them to Japan.
