Hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid in glycols

Hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid, also known as dihydroavenanthramide D, is a synthetic oat-inspired cosmetic soothing ingredient. It is used in products designed to reduce the sensation of itching and improve comfort in skin and scalp care. Antioxidant activity provides a further functional contribution in commercial soothing systems.

A common commercial delivery format dissolves the active in butylene glycol and pentylene glycol. This liquid blend supplies both the active and its carrier solvents, so its total addition level is different from the concentration of hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid itself. It is incorporated into compatible cosmetic vehicles as a soothing ingredient, distinct from oat extracts and from a neat isolated powder.

Typical Applications

• Sensitive-skin creams and lotions: Used in moisturizing emulsions developed for skin that feels itchy or uncomfortable. The glycol-carried active is distributed through the product together with the separate humectant and emollient system.
• Scalp-comfort products: Used in compatible scalp serums and hair-care products where reduction of itch-related discomfort is part of the cosmetic concept. It supplies the soothing-active contribution rather than the cleansing or conditioning base.
• Post-shave skin care: Used in leave-on balms and lotions intended to improve skin comfort after shaving. The carrier blend allows the active to be incorporated into the selected emulsion or liquid vehicle.
