What is Butylene Glycol? Is it Harmful to the Skin?

Butylene glycol is an organic compound that has moisturizing and antibacterial effects. It is often used as a moisturizer in cosmetics. Butylene glycol is a moisturizing ingredient that is often found in cosmetics. It can effectively absorb water molecules. After acting on the skin, it can help the skin retain moisture and reduce or avoid dry skin. And compared with glycerin, butylene glycol has a relatively smaller viscosity and will feel refreshing after use. In addition, butylene glycol also inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, which is beneficial to the skin and reduces the occurrence of skin infections.
If you are allergic to butylene glycol, you should avoid using cosmetics and related preparations containing butylene glycol to avoid allergic skin lesions such as itchy erythema and papules, and even skin diseases such as urticaria, eczema, contact dermatitis, etc., which are harmful to the body. of health.

1.4-Butanediol

图片
1.4-Butanediol (chemical formula: HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH) is one of the isomers of butanediol, a terminal dihydroxy substituent of butane, which is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature. Industrially, BDO is produced by allowing acetylene to react with two molecules of formaldehyde to form BDO, which is then hydrogenated. BDO can also be obtained by gas-phase hydrogenation of anhydrides.

Tetrahydrofuran

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless, volatile liquid with the odor of ether or acetone and is miscible with water and most organic solvents. THF is highly flammable and may thermally decompose into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

BDO

图片
1.4-Butanediol ( BDO ) is used industrially as a solvent and in the manufacture of certain types of plastics, elastic fibers and polyurethanes. In organic chemistry, 1.4-butanediol is used in the synthesis of gamma-butyrolactone (GBL). In the presence of phosphoric acid and high temperatures, 1.4-Butanediol dehydrates into the important solvent tetrahydrofuran. At about 200°C, in the presence of a soluble ruthenium catalyst, the diol undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction to form butyrolactone. BDO is used to synthesize 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, which is then used as an epoxy resin diluent.
