At Aloderma, we believe in farm-to-skin transparency. That's why we not only use the freshest, organic aloe vera grown on our own farms, but we also carefully select other ingredients for their specific benefits and safety. Today, we're taking a closer look at Butylene Glycol, a common ingredient in many of our most popular products, including the Pure Aloe Vera Gel 200g, Pure Aloe Vera Gel + Tea Tree, and Pure Aloe Vera Skin Hydrator.

So, what exactly is Butylene Glycol? It's a humectant, a fancy term for an ingredient that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. Think of it like a tiny sponge that draws water from the air and deeper layers of your skin, keeping it hydrated, plump, and supple. This is especially important for dry or dehydrated skin, where a lack of moisture can lead to flakiness, roughness, and fine lines.

But Butylene Glycol isn't just a moisture magnet. It also helps to enhance the delivery of other beneficial ingredients in our products. By creating a smoother pathway, it allows these ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

Recognizing the significance of safety, we prioritize the use of ingredients deemed safe for topical application, even for those with sensitive skin. Butylene Glycol is well-tolerated and generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores and contribute to blemishes.

At Aloderma, we're committed to using high-quality, farm-fresh ingredients that are not only effective but also gentle on your skin. By understanding the science behind each ingredient, we can make informed choices for the health and beauty of your skin.
