What is Ethylhexylglycerin?

Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional skincare ingredient primarily used as a preservative and skin-conditioning agent. It is derived from glycerin, which is typically sourced from natural plant-based oils. Ethylhexylglycerin acts as an effective enhancer for other preservatives, boosting their performance while offering additional skin benefits.

Benefits:

Improved Product Stability: By boosting the effectiveness of preservatives, ethylhexylglycerin helps extend the shelf life of skincare products.

Gentle and Non-Irritating: It is a milder alternative to harsher preservatives and is well-tolerated even by sensitive skin types.

Versatile and Multi-Functional: Ethylhexylglycerin’s compatibility with a wide range of ingredients makes it suitable for various skincare formulations, from creams to serums.
