Ethylhexylglycerin

Humectant and preservative booster

Description

A very versatile, multifunctional additive in the cosmetic industry. Used as a preservative booster, humectant and emollient; it improves the skin feel of cosmetic formulations. Also used in deodorants as an active ingredient, since it helps control odor-causing bacteria without affecting the skin's natural flora.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 1 % to 4 % depending on the application.
How to use and incorporate: Add according to its maximum temperature, usually during cool-down (below 40–45 °C/104–113 °F), dissolved or premixed in the phase indicated by the data sheet. Check that the final pH of the formula is within its effective range.
Formulation tips:
  • Preservation depends on the whole formula: validate the system with a microbial challenge test.
  • Organic acids (benzoic, sorbic, dehydroacetic) are only effective at acidic pH (approximately ≤ 5.5). Extracts, hydrosols, proteins and starches increase the demand for preservative.
  • Follow good manufacturing practices: purified water, sanitized utensils and clean packaging.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with nonionic surfactants, proteins and some polymers, which may reduce its effectiveness.
Storage: Storage In tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: Precautions Avoid direct contact with eyes.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
