Ordering Issue and Safety of Cosmetic Ingredients (Butylene Glycol, Polymers, Blue Color)

Question

I am trying to purchase ready-to-use products online, specifically a cream for my face because it is very dry and dehydrated due to cold weather (I am not in Thailand). I also have acne and many marks from picking.

I selected some items based on information I read, but when I tried to order, the system showed the message "ได้เลือกรายการเต็มจำนวนแล้ว" (You have selected the maximum number of items). I have already deleted all previously selected items, but I still cannot add new items to my cart. How can I resolve this issue?

Additionally, I would like to ask about the safety of some ingredients I encountered, as I have not heard of them before. Are the following ingredients safe for use?

Bitylene Glycol
Copolymer of Acrylic Acid2-propenamide, Acryloydimethyltaurate in Aqueous Dispersion with Ammonium and sodium sulphate
CI 42090

Thank you for your assistance.

Ordering Issue

Regarding the shopping cart issue where the system shows "You have selected the maximum number of items" even after deleting previous items, this is a technical issue with the website itself. As an AI, I cannot directly resolve this problem within your account.

Recommendation: Please contact the store's customer service directly to report this issue. The staff will be able to investigate and help you resolve the shopping cart system problem.

Information about Cosmetic Ingredients

The ingredients you asked about are commonly found in cosmetic products. I have checked the basic information regarding these ingredients.

Butylene Glycol: This ingredient is often used as a solvent and humectant in cosmetics. It helps other ingredients penetrate the skin better and helps stabilize the product texture. It is often used as a substitute for Propylene Glycol in formulas requiring extra gentleness, as it is less likely to cause skin irritation. Butylene Glycol is considered safe for cosmetic use according to regulations.
Copolymer of Acrylic Acid2-propenamide and Acryloydimethyltaurate in Aqueous Dispersion with Ammonium and sodium sulphate: This group of ingredients typically consists of polymers that function as gelling agents, thickeners, or dispersing agents in cosmetic formulations, such as Acrylates Copolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, or Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer. These ingredients help provide product stability, desirable texture, and good dispersion. They are considered safe for external use in cosmetic products.
CI 42090: This ingredient is a synthetic blue color, also known as Blue No. 1 or Brilliant Blue. It is a color additive approved for use in cosmetics under regulations by various governing bodies, such as the US FDA and European Union regulations. Colors in cosmetics are used in very small amounts to achieve the desired shade and are considered safe for cosmetic use within the specified regulations and permitted concentrations.

In summary, the ingredients you inquired about are standard ingredients widely used in the cosmetic industry and are considered safe for external use in cosmetic products under appropriate regulations and concentrations.
