Properties and uses
Ascosmetic system ofno added preservatives,ethylhexylglycerin has bacteriostasis, moisturizing effect. Due to a synergistic effect of ethylhexylglycerin, dosage of traditional preservatives in cosmetics are reduced, and the antibacterial effect of multi-functionalcosmetic additivessuch as glycolandfatty acids areimproved,and unpleasant odor caused by sebum is suppressed.

Ethylhexylglycerin is a high purity, colourless and almost odourless liquid with excellent properties for use in cosmetic formulations.it is moisturizing agent featuring multiple functions, it can play a role for antibacterial in the formulation.It can be added to the water phase, can also be added to the oil phase. When added to the water phase, it can form a antimicrobial environment, will play a role for anti-corrosion to the entire formulation.Ethylhexylglycerin can be used for adding effect to traditional preservative, repeated challenge experiments proved that it will be more superior than the traditional cosmetic preservatives such as phenoxy ethanol,methyl isothiazole quinazoline ketone and Methylparaben.Ethylhexylglycerin can adding effect to alcohols and glycols, repeated challenge experiments proved that in an emulsion of oil in water it can improve the antibacterial function of glycols such as pentanediol or octanediol.
As an emollient and mild humectant,ethylhexylglycerin improves the skin feel of cosmetic formulations.It reliably inhibits the growth and multiplication of odour-causing bacteria, while at the same time not affecting the beneficial skin flora. Additionally, it can boost the efficacy of traditional preservatives and acts as an antimicrobial stabiliser in combination with other cosmetic ingredients.
