Phenoxyethanol

Phenoxyethanol is a globally approved, broad-spectrum preservative widely regarded as the industry standard for paraben-free preservation systems. Primary functions: Broad-spectrum antimicrobial: Effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, providing comprehensive protection against microbial contamination. Formula safety: Ensures water-containing products remain microbiologically stable throughout manufacturing, storage, and the entire period of consumer use. Stabilizer: Helps maintain formula integrity by preventing spoilage that could otherwise degrade active ingredients or alter texture.

We include Phenoxyethanol as part of our responsible preservation strategy. It allows us to ensure the microbiological safety of our water-containing products with a well-understood, globally accepted ingredient at safe, effective concentrations. We pair it with other preservatives (like Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate ) to create a robust, multi-component system that provides comprehensive protection at lower individual concentrations. Approved for cosmetic use in all major markets, including the EU, with an extensive safety assessment history.
