Green chemistry moment time! Butylene glycol is a conditioning agent commonly found in skin care products and cosmetics. Rather than fossil fuel derived butylene glycol, Genomatica has created a bio-based butylene glycol called Brontide. Check it out!

Time for a #GreenChemMoment! This week we're focusing on a solvent called cyclopentyl methyl ether. This solvent can be a more environmentally friendly alternative to high-boiling ethers like THF! #greenchemistry
