Question

Activated Resorcinol and Sym White are oil-soluble. Can they also be dissolved in Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol?

Answer

Solubility of Activated Resorcinol and Phenylethyl Resorcinol

Based on the product information, both Activated Resorcinol (4-Butyl Resorcinol) and Phenylethyl Resorcinol (Sym White) are described as being soluble in oil. The product descriptions do not indicate that they are soluble in glycols such as Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol. Therefore, it is unlikely that these ingredients will dissolve in Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol.
