Phenoxyethanol (Preservative)

Why Choose Phenoxyethanol?

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative widely used due to its excellent performance, global acceptance, and compatibility with a broad range of formulation types. It works effectively against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi, and is often used in combination with other mild boosters like ethylhexylglycerin.

Key Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection
• Paraben-free and formaldehyde-free
• Stable across a wide pH range (3.0 – 10.0)

• Minimal impact on texture, color, or odor of formulations

Performance Highlights:
