Phenoxyethanol: Overview
Phenoxyethanol is a widely used preservative in cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a faint floral odor, often employed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast in formulations. Phenoxyethanol is considered effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms while being relatively gentle on the skin compared to some other preservatives. Its efficacy at low concentrations makes it a preferred choice for maintaining product integrity and safety over time. Phenoxyethanol is often used in combination with other preservatives to provide synergistic effects and enhance microbial protection. While it has been deemed safe for use in cosmetics by regulatory authorities when used within specified limits, some concerns have been raised about its potential for skin irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin or when used in high concentrations. Therefore, it's essential for manufacturers to adhere to recommended usage levels to ensure product safety.
