Butylene Glycol is an organic multi-purpose alcohol (synonym: 1,3-butanediol) used as humectant, solvent, antimicrobial agent and emollient. Offers characteristics such as preventing the assimilation of water from atmospheres of high humidity into film-forming preparations and preventing crystallization of insoluble components in cosmetic vehicles. Can be used across a wide range of leave-on and rinse-off formulations to add moisture and emolliency. Widely used as alternate solvent for glycerin or propylene glycol in water-based systems. Can stabilize volatile compounds such as fragrances and flavors fixing them in cosmetic formulations and to retard the loss of aroma. At a concentration of 8-10% butylene glycol has anti-microbial activity against bacteria, molds and yeasts. view less
