Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.
In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.
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.

Milky and moisturising - this leaves my skin with a soft "bouncy" feeling. Along with being moisturising it's soothing and doesn't irritate my skin. My skin looks glowy and healthy after I've applied this - no breakouts either, it actually helped to soothe my acne. I've been through two bottles and have several backups I got from a StyleKorean sale a couple of months ago. The only let down is it's quite expensive however I don't find myself needing to use a lot of product as it's very moisturising. You have to shake the bottle well before use to "mix" the essence and it then turns into a milky texture and colour. The bottle on the right (see picture) has been shaken.

I am pretty picky when it comes to toners. There are so many out there. I don’t know how to describe this toner and what it does to my skin, but it makes my skin feel so supple. I use it with I’m from Rice toner, and it makes my skin look clearer and less drab. I will continue to use this forever.
