Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin

Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin

MYOC Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin is a broad-spectrum preservative blend designed to protect skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations from microbial contamination while remaining gentle on skin. Ethylhexylglycerin acts as a preservative booster, enhancing phenoxyethanol's antimicrobial activity by affecting the interfacial tension at microbial cell membranes — the combined effect delivers reliable protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold across a wide range of formulation types.

Broad Spectrum Preservative Blend

As a broad spectrum preservative blend, MYOC Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin protects equally against bacteria, yeasts, and mold fungi, helping formulations resist contamination throughout their shelf life. It's compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, making it a flexible choice across product categories.

Paraben-Free Preservative Blend

For formulators building clean-label products, this paraben-free preservative blend offers an effective alternative to traditional paraben-based systems. It's also formaldehyde-free, supporting formulations positioned around gentler, modern preservation without compromising antimicrobial performance.

Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin for Skin

Used as phenoxyethanol ethylhexylglycerin for skin care applications, this blend is mild enough for leave-on formulations like serums, creams, and lotions, while still delivering strong antimicrobial protection — a balance that makes it a preferred choice for sensitive-skin-friendly product lines.

Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin for Cosmetics

As phenoxyethanol ethylhexylglycerin for cosmetics more broadly, it's suited to water-based and oil-in-water emulsion formulations — including lotions, creams, serums, toners, gels, shampoos, and conditioners — giving formulators one preservative system that works across most rinse-off and leave-on product types

How to Use

• Add to cosmetic formulations during the cooling phase (below 50°C).
• Recommended usage level: 0.5% – 1.0%.
• Suitable for water-based and oil-in-water emulsions.
• Ideal for lotions, creams, serums, and other personal care products.

As with any preservative, formulators should conduct preservative efficacy (challenge) testing on finished formulations to confirm adequate protection. For external-use formulations only; avoid contact with eyes; do not apply the raw preservative directly to skin.
