What is it? - go to sodium stearoyl lactylate information Where does it come from? - go to 1,2-Heptanediol origin What are the benefits? How is it used in our products?

What is it?

Butylene Glycol is a type of clear, odorless, natural alcohol that has two hydroxyl groups, which give it humectant and stabilizing properties. Unlike conventional production methods, our process starts with renewable plant sugars. An elegant, one-step fermentation process converts renewable sugars into a high purity, natural butylene glycol. This ingredient contributes to the texture, stability, and performance of our formulations.

Information

Butylene Glycol is a type of clear, odorless, natural alcohol that has two hydroxyl groups, which give it humectant and stabilizing properties. Unlike conventional production methods, our process starts with renewable plant sugars. An elegant, one-step fermentation process converts renewable sugars into a high purity, natural butylene glycol. This ingredient contributes to the texture, stability, and performance of our formulations.

Where does it come from?

Butylene Glycol is derived through the fermentation of sugars from renewable plant-based sources. This aligns with natural and sustainable formulations.

What are the benefits?

HYDRATING PENETRATING STABILIZING

What are the benefits?

  • Hydration: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin to maintain hydration.
  • Texture: Contributes to the spreadability and silky feel of products on the skin.
  • Penetration: Allows other active ingredients absorb more effectively.
  • Preservative: Inhibits microbial growth, contributing to the efficacy of preservatives.
  • Solvent: Can dissolve other ingredients to ensure a uniform and stable product.

How is it used in our products?

Butylene Glycol is used in F83 HT + Vitamin C Serum Face and in F96 Olive Glow Eye Patches and F97 Deep Glow Hydrogel Face Mask from OLIVEDA and HT Pearl Primer Serum and HT Volumizing Mascara from OLIVE ROSE. It is a multi-functional ingredient that contributes to the sensory experience of our product by providing a silky texture. It also draws moisture deep into the skin to maintain hydration, while it contributes to ingredient delivery. It is used in small concentrations to benefit product performance without causing irritation. Its plant-based source is a part of our commitment to natural skincare.
