What are the differences between the glycol in our skin care and other glycols?
There is one glycol found in our skin care line called glycol distearate. This ingredient is found in the cleanser and is very different from other glycols such as butylene or propylene glycol. The glycol distearate is used to give the product a “milk-like” appearance and it contains wax that gives shine and smooth feeling to this cleanser. This ingredient also increases the viscosity of the formulation and it is not found in the chemical class alcohols. The other glycols, butylene and propylene, are found in the chemical class alcohols and can function as a solvent and are viscosity decreasing agents.
