Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

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.

Fyne Bio Calm Watery Essence contains this as ingredient number 4.

Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner contains this as ingredient number 3.

I suffer from dry and dehydrated skin that doesn’t tolerate hyaluronic acid in winter, so this toner is my HG during the colder months. Soothing, hydrating and without pilling. One of my all time favourites for effective and fuss-free skincare.

The best hydrating toner I've ever tried!
Hands down it's the perfect toner for oily-dehydrated acne prone skin.
