1,3-Butylene Glycol Description and uses: 1,3-Butylene Glycol produced is used as a raw material for polyester plasticizers and unsaturated polyester resins. It is also used as a humectant in cosmetics, foods and tobacco.

1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound with the formula HOCH2CH2CH(OH)CH3. It is a chiral diol. The compound is a colorless, water-soluble liquid. It has no large scale uses.

It is one of four stable structural isomers of butanediol.

In biology, 1,3-butanediol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent. 1,3-Butanediol can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate and serve as a substrate for brain metabolism.

Synonym: Butane 1,3 diol;Butane-1,3-diol; 1,3-butylene glycol; butane-1,3-diol; 1,3-dihydroxybutane

Use: bio-Butylene Glycol is a natural diol, very pure, clear and odorless liquid. It is a common humectant used in cosmetic as moisturizer for the skin, solvent, fragrance enhancer.

1,3 Butylene Glycol is used in Cosmetics for the following Reasons: Used as a Humectant (To prevent moisture loss from the skin). Emollient (To soften and soothe the skin). Anti-Bacterial Properties( To increase Shelf life of the Cosmetic). Viscocity Decreasing Agent (To make creams more easily spreadable). When placed on the skin or ingested,1,3 Butylene Glycol is absorbed and broken down into “gamma-hydroxybutryic acid,” a naturally occurring compound found in humans. 1,3 Butylene Glycol, is clear, practically colourless, liquid. In cosmetics and personal care products, these ingredients are used in the formulation of hair and bath products, eye and facial makeup, fragrances, personal cleanliness products, and shaving and skin care products.
