Triethylene Glycol
Triethylene Glycol is an odour eliminator that can also be found in shampoos and deodorants. It is added to counteract odours. Due to the similarity of its name, Triethylene Glycol may be confused with Ethylene Glycol, the sweet-tasting ingredient that can be used in air conditioning systems and antifreeze products. However, it's a totally different ingredient that is an odourless liquid.
