1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
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.

i am sensitive to moisturizers but have dry skin and use this product as an alternative. before using i had dry, red, and irritated skin but whenever i use this product it helps soothe and hydrate. my skin no longer feels tight and doesn't flake. this is a hg product.

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.

Minimal and fantastic. A great product to add to a multi-step routine without overloading the skin, like I’ve found other products do. Non-irritating too, which is a problem I’ve had with other toners. I splash this directly into cupped hands and apply straight to the skin, so I don’t waste any. It’s a lovely product that produces tangible calming benefits, elevating the quality of the skin.

Gentle, refreshing. Minimal ingredients, great for acne-prone and sensitive skin types. My new favorite toner.
