Description
Phenoxyethanol
Phenoxyethanol is a widely used broad-spectrum preservative in cosmetic and personal care products. It effectively protects formulations from bacteria, yeast, and mold, helping to extend shelf life and maintain product safety.
This clear, colorless liquid is valued for its gentle nature and low potential for irritation, making it suitable for a variety of products including lotions, creams, serums, and cleansers.
Phenoxyethanol is typically used at 0.5% to 1% in formulations and is usually added during the cool-down phase to preserve its effectiveness.
