Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol - Euxyl PE9010

Ethylhexylglycerin and Phenoxyethanol are widely-used preservative compounds in skincare and cosmetic formulations. Ethylhexylglycerin functions as a humectant and preservative booster, enhancing formula stability while maintaining skin compatibility. Phenoxyethanol serves as a broad-spectrum preservative, protecting products against microbial contamination and extending shelf life.

Together, these ingredients create a robust preservation system suitable for serums, moisturisers, and cleansers. Both are approved for cosmetic use in major markets, including South Africa, and are recognised for their efficacy at low concentrations. Ideal for formulators seeking reliable, cost-effective preservation without compromising product performance or sensory profile.
