Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.

It is a:

Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin

Emollient, helping to soften skin

Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas

Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Ethylhexylglycerin is created from glycerin. It is a multitasker ingredient that:

The CIR Expert Panel found minimal skin absorption or sensitization of any kind in a safety assessment. Though this ingredient is considered well-tolerated, a small number of cases of allergic dermatitis have been published since 2002. Just be sure to patch test if you are unsure.

Industry-reported use ranges from 8% in rinse-off products and 2% in leave-on formulations.

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Remember to stay hydrated!

Research note

Beyond the Bottle: Glutathione's Critical Role in Broader Research

While the cosmetic applications are fascinating, they represent just a tiny sliver of glutathione's importance. In the world of biotechnology and cellular research, GSH is a cornerstone molecule studied for its profound impact on health and disease. Researchers in labs across the globe are investigating its role in neurodegenerative diseases, immune disorders, cardiovascular health, and the aging process itself. They're exploring how cellular glutathione levels impact everything from mitochondrial function to gene expression. This is the world we operate in. For researchers investigating these fundamental cellular defense mechanisms, having access to precisely synthesized compounds is absolutely non-negotiable. Reproducible results depend on starting with materials of the highest possible purity and consistency. It’s why our team is so meticulous with our research-grade Glutathione, ensuring the exact amino-acid sequencing and purity required for sensitive laboratory applications. This same unwavering commitment to quality applies across our entire catalog. The work being done with glutathione is part of a much larger, exciting field of research into how peptides and other signaling molecules can influence cellular health. It's a landscape that includes groundbreaking compounds like BPC-157 for tissue repair studies and Epithalon for research into telomere biology. We encourage you to Find the Right Peptide Tools for Your Lab and see how this foundational work is pushing the boundaries of science.

Research note

Why Purity Is Everything for Glutathione Studies

Let's be honest, this is crucial. In research, your results are only as good as your reagents. If the compound you're studying is contaminated, your entire experiment is compromised. You might spend months, or even years, chasing a phantom effect caused by an unknown impurity rather than the molecule you thought you were studying. This is why we can't stress this enough: purity is paramount. At Real Peptides, our entire process is built around this principle. We utilize small-batch synthesis, which gives us meticulous control over every step of the process. It's more labor-intensive, but it's the only way to guarantee the impeccable quality that serious science demands. Each batch comes with its own analysis to prove its identity and purity, so researchers know exactly what they are working with. Imagine you're studying the precise effect of glutathione on mitochondrial function. If your sample contains residual solvents, heavy metals, or incorrectly synthesized peptide fragments, how can you be certain that the observed changes are due to glutathione? You can't. It introduces a massive, often unquantifiable, confounding variable. This approach (which we've refined over years) of providing verifiably pure compounds delivers real results and eliminates that crippling uncertainty. It's the bedrock of reproducible science.
