Made from plants, not petroleum, Brontide butylene glycol is a natural ingredient that delivers both high performance and sustainability.

Brontide natural butylene glycol is a multifunctional ingredient used in a variety of personal care products and cosmetics


Preservative-boosting solvent
Skin-feel modifier
Humectant
Carrier for extracts and activesBrontide butylene glycol integrates into new and existing formulations without sacrificing quality or needing reformulation

Most butylene glycol products on the market today are sourced from petroleum and are made from acetaldehyde, a carcinogen and mutagen.
Unlike conventional production methods, our process starts with renewable plant sugars. An elegant, one-step fermentation process converts renewable sugars into a high purity, natural butylene glycol.
We’ve brought science and nature together to give you a petroleum-free alternative for formulating natural, more sustainable personal care products and cosmetics.HOW IT’S MADE
