About this material
DPG Lo – Dipropylene Glycol – Low odour – Reed Diffusers, Cosmetics, Perfume Diluent
Our DPG Lo is a low odour high quality grade diluent. With its low toxicity and solvent properties this exceptional material makes the ideal additive for perfumes, skin & hair care products.
Used as a carrier or solvent in perfumes, lotions, deodorants, and skin care products due to its low odour and ability to evenly distribute fragrances.
Acts as a humectant (moisture-retaining agent) in cosmetics and personal care items.
Common Uses:
- Reed Diffuser oils
- Ultrasonic reed diffuser oils
- Fragrance diluent and quencher.
- Pot pourri, perfumes, room sprays, body sprays, oil burners

Fragrance allergen reference
Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.

No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.
Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Safety & handling
Not Hazardous According To EC 1272/2008
Dipropylene glycol is a colourless, almost odourless liquid with a high boiling point and low toxicity. It is a mixture of three isomeric chemical compounds, 4-oxa-2,6-heptandiol, 2-(2-Hydroxy-propoxy)-propan-1-ol, and 2-(2-Hydroxy-1-methyl-ethoxy)-propan-1-ol.
How to make your own DIFFUSER OIL:
To make diffuser oil, blend the fragrance oil with D.P.G. until clear. Add Perfumers alcohol to reduce viscosity to desired thickness.

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.A clear starting point
With DPG Lo - Dipropylene Glycol - Low odour - Reed Diffusers, Cosmetics, Perfume Diluent and a known concentrateUse the listed solubility and preparation information to plan a small bench comparison with a known fragrance concentrate. Record clarity immediately and after standing; a clear sample alone does not establish compatibility or finished-product suitability.
A dilution library
Labelled samples and repeatable recordsWhere the product specification supports the intended use, organise labelled working preparations for materials you already understand. Record the actual starting strength, carrier and preparation date so later comparisons describe the same material rather than different unrecorded dilutions.
Compare the carrier
One concentrate, controlled variablesCompare this preparation with an established reference while holding the fragrance concentrate and evaluation method constant. Record clarity and any observed change in the scent impression; treat the comparison as evidence to investigate, not proof of universal compatibility.
