About
Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative widely used in cosmetics, personal care products, and formulations. It is produced through the ethoxylation of phenol, typically in specialized chemical manufacturing facilities. This glycol ether serves as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, effectively preventing bacterial and yeast growth in water-based products. Makers purchase phenoxyethanol for its excellent stability across pH ranges 3-10, its colorless and odorless properties, and its ability to work at low concentrations (0.5-1.0%). Unlike some traditional preservatives, it doesn't release formaldehyde and is considered gentler on skin. It's commonly found in lotions, creams, shampoos, makeup, and DIY cosmetic formulations. The ingredient dissolves readily in water and glycols, making it easy to incorporate into various formulations. Its effectiveness against gram-negative bacteria makes it particularly valuable for cosmetic chemists and small-batch manufacturers seeking reliable, regulatory-approved preservation systems for their products.
