Ingredients explained

Butylene Glycol
Est. %45
Function
Origin
Butylene Glycol

A clear, colorless liquid humectant that draws moisture to the skin. The humectancy of butylene glycol, owed to its two hydroxyl groups, is quite considerable, although not as powerful as glycerin, which contains three hydroxyl groups.

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Glyceryl Glucoside
Betaine
Est. %0.3
Function

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
