Butylene Glycol

INCI: BUTYLENE GLYCOL

COLOURLESS VISCOUS HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID.

Overview

Butylene glycol is an organic alcohol derived from petroleum and is water-soluble.

Butylene glycol is a commonly used ingredient that plays multiple roles in cosmetics, including as a humectant, texture enhancer, solvent, and penetration booster. Research indicates butylene glycol not only helps raise water content in the skin (aka hydration) but may also contribute to decreasing roughness on the surface of the skin (depending on how it’s combined in the formula). While not known as a preservative in and of itself, some of butylene glycol’s properties can help boost a formula’s stability against microorganisms that may harm the skin’s surface.

Possible Health Concerns/Side Effects: considered safe

As a solvent, butylene glycol works well with ingredients that are not water-soluble and are difficult to dissolve.


Butylene glycol (1.3-Butanediol) is a small organic alcohol used as a solvent and conditioning agent.


In most formulations, the strength of butylene glycol will range from 0.001-50%. This broad range indicates that safety is quite high. Butylene glycol can also be used purely at 100% without any significant side effects, so it is a safe ingredient to use.
