About

A multifunctional aliphatic diol used as a pH adjuster, humectant, and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, with a favourable safety profile and no EU restrictions.

2-Amino-1,3-propanediol (serinol) is a small-molecule diol with both amino and hydroxyl functional groups. It acts as a pH buffering agent, skin conditioning ingredient, and viscosity controller in cosmetic emulsions. The PubChem safety score of 80 reflects its low-toxicity profile — it has no GHS hazard classifications, is not listed in any EU Annex restriction lists, and is well tolerated on skin with minimal irritation potential. Its dual functionality (amino and hydroxyl groups) makes it chemically versatile and mild.
