Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin is a popular ingredient used in the home and personal care industry. It is a synergistic blend of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin, combining their individual benefits to provide an effective preservative system and skin conditioning properties in various cosmetic and personal care products.
Phenoxyethanol is a widely recognized preservative known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, thereby preventing product spoilage and ensuring the safety and shelf life of cosmetic formulations.
Ethylhexylglycerin, on the other hand, is a skin conditioning agent that contributes to the overall sensory experience of the product. It helps improve the texture, feel, and moisturizing properties of cosmetic formulations, leaving the skin soft and supple.
