    Title:
    Natural propanediol solvent
    Summary:
    First DFE certified solvent!
    Content:

    Zemea propanediol is a new ingredient (Spring 2009) offered by DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products for use in skin care applications.

    Claims are to being a "non-petroleumbased glycol that offers excellent hydration and does not irriate the skin" (Contact Joseph DeSalvo at DuPont T&LBP).  Fermented from corn sugar.

    Recently approved by Ecocert as a natural ingredient.

    Also, Cleaningredients has recently listed Zemea as "DFE" approved - THE FIRST SOLVENT to be approved under DFE!!

    Currently, competitors (like Rockline) are using non-petroleum based ingredients in their wipe products (glycerine, corn-based sorbitols in addition to plant oils).
