Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional preservative booster and skin-friendly active that enhances the efficacy of preservative systems. By reducing the surface tension of microbial cell walls and inhibiting bacterial activity, it helps preservatives work more efficiently and rapidly, ensuring longer-lasting product safety.
Supplied as a colorless transparent liquid, Ethylhexylglycerin is soluble in both alcohol and oil, making it suitable for a wide range of formulations, including creams, serums, lotions, and other oil- or alcohol-based skincare products. With a recommended usage of 0.2–2.0%, it provides effective preservative enhancement while maintaining formulation stability.
