2-Butoxyethanol Scorecard

This petrochemical solvent has been linked to a number of diseases. In California and New Jersey it is listed as a hazardous substance. BP used it as a dispersant to “clean up” the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. While single ingredients do not determine the toxicity level of entire formulations or mixtures, consumers should remain aware of the many hazardous chemicals in foods, cosmetics, and everyday household products.
