The material, a distilled product with a purity greater than 99.5% as dipropylene glycol, is a liquid that is practically odorless, colorless, water-soluble and hygroscopic.

It’s a fragrance fixative/humectant/emulsifier. I wouldn’t use it as a base. It’s main use in fragrances is to cut down on alcohol sting and alter the diffusivity of an alcohol fragrance.
