Description:
Organic multi-purpose alcohol (synonym: 1,3-butanediol) used as humectant, solvent, antimicrobial agent and emollient.

- 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
