Brontide® on the bottle

#Blog

Distinct labeling

As consumers become more educated on sustainability practices, it’s now more important than ever to effectively communicate your company’s sustainability efforts. Make your mark on sustainability by including the Brontide logo on your packaging or marketing support. As the “hero ingredient” in your product, feature Brontide natural butylene glycol as your penetration enhancer alongside cosmetic benefit claims or as a functional differentiator.  Click here to learn more.

On the front label, the Brontide logo can be used to differentiate your personal care products. On the back label, the INCI name for Brontide is “butylene glycol,” and the ingredient can be described as “butylene glycol (natural)” or “butylene glycol (Brontide®)” on your packaging or marketing support. For quick reference, this information can also be found on our Brontide on the Bottle labeling guide.

To request the style guide for the Brontide trademark, as well as licenses to use the trademark for your product or company branding, contact Kyle Huston at [email protected].
