BUTYLENE GLYCOL
BUTYLENE GLYCOL is the INCI name linked in this record to Butane-1,3-diol and (R)-(-)-butane-1,3-diol. The entry keeps two identifier pairs distinct: CAS 107-88-0 with EC 203-529-7, and CAS 6290-03-5 with EC 228-532-0.
What it is
BUTYLENE GLYCOL is the INCI name linked in this record to Butane-1,3-diol and (R)-(-)-butane-1,3-diol. The entry keeps two identifier pairs distinct: CAS 107-88-0 with EC 203-529-7, and CAS 6290-03-5 with EC 228-532-0.
The ingredient appears in 14 products in the consulted record. Its Portuguese localized name is BUTILENO GLICOL, while the Spanish name supplied by the record is 1,3-butanodiol; these localized forms accompany, rather than replace, the technical INCI identification.
What it does in a formula
The formula classifications recorded for BUTYLENE GLYCOL are HUMECTANT, FRAGRANCE, SKIN CONDITIONING, SOLVENT, and VISCOSITY CONTROLLING. They describe the roles assigned to the ingredient in a composition, including fragrance, skin conditioning, solvent, and viscosity-controlling classifications.
HUMECTANT is listed separately from the other four classifications, so the record can be explained without turning one label into a claim about the finished product. This set of five official functions is the specific basis for describing why the INCI name can occur across different formulas.
Conditions and care
The technical record lists no restrictions, maximum concentration, conditions, or regulations for BUTYLENE GLYCOL. That absence states what is recorded for this ingredient; it is not a safety assessment and does not establish that the ingredient is unrestricted in every setting.
The CAS and EC identifiers remain in two pairs: 107-88-0 with 203-529-7, and 6290-03-5 with 228-532-0. Specific care information should therefore remain limited to these documented entries, without adding an unrecorded risk, benefit, or recommendation.
