why we use butylene glycol

The Basics

Butylene Glycol is a synthetic organic alcohol commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a humectant and solvent. As a humectant, it attracts and retains moisture, helping to keep the skin hydrated. Additionally, it serves as a solvent, effectively dissolving other ingredients to enhance the stability and efficacy of formulations. Its low viscosity and non-greasy texture contribute to a pleasant sensory experience in various skincare and haircare products.
