Ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional ingredient commonly used in skincare formulations as a preservative and skin-conditioning agent. It is a synthetic compound derived from glycerin. As a preservative, ethylhexylglycerin helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, in cosmetic products. It extends the shelf life of formulations and helps prevent contamination. Additionally, ethylhexylglycerin functions as a skin-conditioning agent, contributing to the overall feel and texture of the product. It can enhance the spreadability and smoothness of formulations, leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturized.
