Ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin is a synthetic glycerin derivative that serves as a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient, primarily functioning as a preservative booster and skin conditioning agent. It enhances the efficacy of traditional preservatives like phenoxyethanol while providing a silky, non-greasy feel to formulations. Formulators value this ingredient for its ability to reduce the concentration of primary preservatives needed while simultaneously improving the sensory properties of creams, lotions, and serums.
