Information About Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol is a humectant and solubilising agent used as a vehicle in topical formulations and as a treatment for severe hyperkeratotic skin conditions in Singapore. Available as a topical solution or gel applied to affected skin under occlusion for hyperkeratosis, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. High-concentration propylene glycol under occlusion softens and hydrates thickened stratum corneum effectively — however, it can cause contact sensitisation and systemic toxicity in neonates and patients with renal impairment from significant skin absorption. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Propylene Glycol online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
