Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

Another holygrail product! My skin type has changed recently and I'm a lot more acne-prone than I used to be but I still have issues with dryness/dry patches this product helps to treat both. Quite often as I've found things that treat acne, dry out my skin and things that treat dryness break me out. This product is one of few that does neither. With 63% propolis extract, 10% honey extract, and 10% royal jelly extract to help hydrate the skin. Both propolis and honey extract have anti-bacterial properties with help to treat acne. The only downside is it's a little expensive so I made sure to get the Black Fridays deals! 😅

I was very excited to try this product. While it was very hydrating it left a waxy film and ended up causing fungal acne on my cheeks.
