However, it is traditionally manufactured synthetically and is usually of petrochemical origin. Butylene Glycol Green is molecularly identical to synthetic BG but is produced from plant-based sugars via fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom a chemical perspective, glycols belong to the alcohol family and are versatile in their application. Butylene Glycol Green is not only a \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehumectant\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also a good \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esolvent\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is highly soluble in water, but also exhibits slight lipophilic (oil-soluble) properties and is therefore slightly surface-active. Because of this peculiarity, it helps to support the preservative system in aqueous formulations, improve the dissolution of insoluble substances, and enhance application behavior. However, it can also make emulsions slightly thinner or, at higher concentrations, destabilize them. Nevertheless, it is not as strongly destabilizing or thinning as pentylene glycol, which makes it easier to use in emulsions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn contrast to similar humectants, butylene glycol is chemically situated \u003cstrong\u003ebetween propanediol and pentylene glycol\u003c\/strong\u003e. It therefore feels slightly richer than propanediol, but is not quite as sticky as pentylene glycol. It is therefore the optimal choice for formulations intended to leave the skin feeling particularly soft and nourished. Due to this characteristic, BG is traditionally used in \u003cstrong\u003eAsian Skin Care\u003c\/strong\u003e, where a moist, supple skin feel is particularly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe have summarized the chemical properties of humectants clearly \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Feuchthaltemittel und Glykole in der Kosmetik\" href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/blogs\/blog\/feuchthaltemittel-und-glykole-in-der-kosmetik\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ehere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eButylene glycol is often used as an extraction agent for plants because its lipophilic (fat-loving) and hydrophilic (water-loving) properties allow it to dissolve a multitude of different plant ingredients. Moreover, the extract obtained in this way is \"self-preserved\" and highly bioavailable, as it increases the skin's absorption of active ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTip: Butylene glycol does not have as strong a preserving or boosting effect as pentylene glycol, but it can be used in higher concentrations because, conversely, it also has a lower irritation potential for the skin.
