Asked by: shoppingist On: March 06, 2018 Product Type: Cosmetics Answered

Question

If a formula already contains 3% 1,2-Hexanediol, is it necessary to add Butylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol, or Laurocapram to enhance the penetration of L-Carnosine?

Answer

Based on the staff's response, if your formula already contains 3% 1,2-Hexanediol, you do not need to add Butylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol, or Laurocapram as additional penetration enhancers for L-Carnosine. The presence of 1,2-Hexanediol at 3% is sufficient to help L-Carnosine penetrate the skin effectively.
