Propylene glycol dermatitis.

Findings

Propylene glycol, a common ingredient in skincare products, can cause two types of skin problems: irritant reactions (like redness or burning) and allergic sensitization (where your skin becomes allergic to it over time). While it's useful as a vehicle for delivering other ingredients, it's not suitable for everyone—especially those with sensitive skin.
