What it is & what it does

Propyl Gallate is an antioxidant used mainly to protect oils and lipids inside the formula.
It slows oxidation and rancidity, helping maintain odor, color and formula quality. Its primary benefit is product protection rather than a strong direct antioxidant treatment for skin.

Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
