Product Overview

What Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin Blend Does In A Formulation

A scientifically optimised blend that combines the broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy of phenoxyethanol with the multifunctional boosting properties of ethylhexylglycerin. The pair amplifies preservation performance while improving sensory profile and skin compatibility, and it passes preservative challenge tests such as ISO 11930 at 0.5 to 1.0 percent total dosage. Because it arrives pre-blended, your production floor weighs one raw material instead of two.

Key Benefits

Why Formulators Specify It

Passes ISO 11930 at 0.5 to 1.0 Percent

Challenge test performance is achieved at a total dosage of 0.5 to 1.0 percent, which keeps the finished product inside the 1.0 percent phenoxyethanol limit.

Amplified Antimicrobial Efficacy

The booster significantly amplifies activity against bacteria, yeast and fungi compared with the preservative used alone.

Better Skin Feel Not Worse

The blend imparts a smooth, non-sticky texture and enhances spreadability, so tighter preservation does not cost you the sensory panel.

Survives Difficult Bases

Stability holds across pH 3 to 12 and up to 120 degrees Celsius, and in high-surfactant or high-salt systems where other systems separate.

One Weighing Step

A pre-blended system removes a dosing step and the ratio error that comes with weighing two preservatives on a busy line.

Application Scenarios

  • Creams, serums and masks
  • Shampoos and conditioners
  • Wet wipes and cleansers
  • Natural and organic formulations

Who It Is For

  • Plants running short batch cycles where weighing time matters
  • Manufacturers standardising one house preservative system
  • Natural and organic brands needing proven challenge test results
  • Wet wipe and cleanser producers under constant microbial load
