Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

An absolute must-have for easily irritated dry winter skin! Helped me with irritation and tightness from wind burn and cold without clogging my pores. This product single-handedly turned my skin for the better. Newly found HG.

Used it and woke up the next morning with a pimple, thought nothing of it and used it again and my face was red the next day with so many break outs! Didn’t know what exactly caused it but I only used it twice and never again. I have sensitive combination skin.
