In the dynamic world of cosmetic formulation, ensuring product stability and safety is paramount. Consumers today are increasingly seeking products that are not only effective but also made with gentle, safe ingredients. This demand has led to a greater focus on preservative systems that offer broad-spectrum protection without compromising on skin tolerance. Among the most effective and widely adopted solutions is the combination of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin.

This synergistic blend, often referred to by trade names like Euxyl PE 9010, provides a robust defense against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. NINGBO HI-TECH ZONE YEFENG NEW MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. recognizes the critical role this preservative system plays in product longevity and consumer trust. By disrupting microbial cell membranes, Ethylhexylglycerin significantly enhances the efficacy of Phenoxyethanol, allowing for lower usage concentrations while maintaining excellent preservative power. This makes it a highly efficient choice for formulators.

Beyond its preservative capabilities, Ethylhexylglycerin offers significant skin conditioning and emollient properties. It helps to improve the texture and feel of cosmetic products, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. This dual functionality makes it a valuable ingredient, reducing the need for multiple additives and streamlining formulations. As a fragrance fixative, it also helps to prolong the scent of products, enhancing the overall sensory experience for the user.

Furthermore, the Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin blend is celebrated for being paraben-free and formaldehyde-free, addressing a key consumer concern about traditional preservatives. This makes it an ideal ingredient for brands looking to offer ‘cleaner’ or ‘natural-leaning’ formulations without sacrificing preservation efficacy. Its compatibility with various cosmetic systems, including anionic, cationic, and non-ionic ingredients, along with its stability across a wide pH range (typically 3-12), provides formulators with considerable flexibility.

When formulating with this powerful combination, it's important to follow recommended usage levels, typically between 0.5% and 1.1%, and incorporate it during the cool-down phase of production (below 50°C) to ensure optimal stability and performance. NINGBO HI-TECH ZONE YEFENG NEW MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. is committed to supplying high-quality cosmetic raw materials, and the Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin blend is a testament to this commitment, enabling brands to create safe, effective, and desirable products for their customers.
