Hi,
Is the butylene glycol in RareGinseng®-GF2 petroleum derived or plant derived?
Thanks!
Answer
Source of Butylene Glycol in RareGinseng®-GF2
The Butylene Glycol used as a solvent in RareGinseng®-GF2 (Natural Retinol Replacement) is plant-derived, sourced through a green-production process.
While many standard cosmetic-grade Butylene Glycols are petroleum-derived, the specific version used in this ginseng extract is plant-based, making it an excellent choice for formulations that prioritize natural and sustainable ingredients.
Key Features:
- Active Ingredient: Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins (Ginsenoside F2), a high-purity natural extract.
- Solvent: Plant-derived Butylene Glycol (Green Production).
- Benefits: Offers anti-aging, skin whitening, and hydration properties similar to retinol but with better stability and less irritation.
