Preservatives With Humectant Properties

Broad-spectrum preservation that also improves skin feel. Three ingredients that keep a formulation microbiologically stable while doing a second job in the product: phenoxyethanol as the broad-spectrum workhorse, ethylhexylglycerin as its booster and deodorant agent, and 1,2-hexanediol as a humectant that reduces the preservative load you need.
