Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
Dimethicone is a silicone used for making products smooth and silky. It also has the added benefit of sealing in hydration. The amount of dimethicone found in beauty products is considered safe and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.

Very nice jelly moisturizer.
I greatly prefer gels to creams since I’m quite oily.
The price is incredible, minimum half the price of anything else.
Dry skin would likely find this not moisturizing enough but I feel like it’s an excellent product for oily people.
It does feel a bit sticky if you apply too much, apply to damp skin helps.
