Originally Pentylene Glycol is based on the unripe juice of sugar beets, meanwhile, the synthetic production is standard.

Pentylene Glycol is used more frequently in cosmetic products today, but there are many other uses. 
Pentylene Glycol has both moisture-binding and antimicrobial properties. 

As a dihydric alcohol, Pentylene Glycol prevents in a certain concentration that multiplying of undesirable microorganisms. 
For example, we also know this effect from brandy with a high alcohol content, which does not need to be preserved and is even suitable for disinfection 

Pentylene Glycol on the other hand, is classified neither as hazardous to health nor as toxic because Pentylene Glycol can not be detected in urine and human tissue. 
Pentylene Glycol is therefore considered safe. 

Thanks to Pentylene Glycol’s very good compatibility, sensitization of the skin is virtually eliminated. 
Another immensely important advantage of Pentylene Glycol is that, in contrast to conventional alcohol, no dehydrating effect occurs even at a higher dosage.
