Hexylene Glycol

INCI

Hexylene Glycol

SUMMARY

Hexylene glycol is a clear, colorless liquid commonly used in a wide range of skincare products like cleansers, serums and makeup removers, primarily for its role as a solvent, humectant and texture-enhancing agent. Its ability to dissolve both water and oil-based ingredients makes it valuable in products created to remove cosmetics.

ORIGIN

Hexylene glycol is generally created through chemical processes in laboratories rather than sourced from natural sources.

SKIN TOLERANCE

Hexylene glycol is generally well-tolerated on skin when used at appropriate concentrations.
