Product Description

    Product Overview
    TEGOSOFT® BC MB (INCI: Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate) is a highly pure, liquid wax ester that delivers a light, dry sensory profile with no oily residue. Fully based on renewable feedstocks, it is manufactured using a unique biocatalytic process powered by 100% renewable electricity. This process reduces the CO₂ footprint by up to 70% compared to fossil-based benchmarks making it a strong fit for sustainable formulation strategies.
