Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising a) at least one polyol in a concentration of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation, and b) at least one diol selected from 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol, in a concentration of from 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.

Abstract: The invention is a cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising a) at least one polyol in a concentration of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation, and b) at least one diol selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol, in a concentration of from 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation. The invention also includes formulations further comprising at least one antioxidant, and formulations further comprising at least one UV filter. The invention also includes a method of moisturizing skin comprising applying the formulation to the skin. The invention further includes a method for reducing the tacky sensation, a method for reducing the viscosity, and a method for increasing the stability of a polyol-containing formulation comprising adding a diol selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol.
