Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

Emollient, Emulsifying, Emulsion Stabilising

Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of two fatty alcohols: cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. It is mainly used as an emulsifier. Emulsifiers help prevent the separation of oils and products. Due to its composition, it can also be used to thicken a product or help create foam.

Cetearyl alcohol is an emollient. Emollients help soothe and hydrate the skin by trapping moisture.

Studies show Cetearyl alcohol is non-toxic and non-irritating. The FDA allows products labeled "alcohol-free" to have fatty alcohols.

This ingredient is usually derived from plant oils such as palm, vegetable, or coconut oils. There is debate on whether this ingredient will cause acne.

Due to the fatty acid base, this ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis safe.

I have used this exclusively as a day time night time moisturizer and it’s the best I’ve ever used. I have clog prone, combo, dehydrated, sensitive skin and this is the ONLY, and I mean ONLY cream I can tolerate. Don’t let sleeping pack scare you. Didn’t trigger any acne or fungal acne, isn’t too heavy. It’s 10/10. I think I’ve passed year 3 of using this.
