Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Dipropylene Glycol helps dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients. It also helps decrease viscosity and thin out texture.
As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.
Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.
Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

Here's what our community thinks
Melano CC Brightening Lotion - Moist 15 ingredients
I’ve been using this for years and it’s one of the only products I own that is fungal acne safe and helps with dark spots. I put it on in the morning after washing my face and my skin feels hydrated right after
I love Melano CC, but the essence/spot treatment is better. I like to use toner instead of cleansing in the morning, but this one leaves a filmy feeling on my skin. I'll keep using it as it's synergistic with the essence, but I won't repurchase.
