BUTYLENE GLYCOL

Butylene Glycol is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient widely used in modern skincare formulations as a humectant, solvent and skin-conditioning agent.

As a humectant, it helps attract and retain moisture, supporting hydrated, soft and comfortable-feeling skin.

Butylene Glycol is particularly useful in facial serums, moisturizers, creams, lotions and other water-containing skincare formulations where both hydration and a pleasant sensory profile are desired.

Its solvent properties also make it useful as a carrier for suitable cosmetic actives and botanical ingredients, helping improve their incorporation and uniform distribution within formulations.

Butylene Glycol is an excellent functional ingredient for premium facial care and moisturizing products due to its combination of hydration support, solvent performance and pleasant formulation feel.
