Phenoxyethanol Cosmetic Grade Preservatives 100ml

Water-based creams, lotions & wash products need a suitable preservative to help control microbial growth. Cosmetic grade phenoxyethanol is a liquid preservative for cosmetic formulations, including hand wash, shampoo, body wash, skincare products, industrial & DIY formulations. It helps protect the formula from bacterial contamination during storage & regular use.

This clear, colourless liquid suits small trial batches and larger production runs. It can also work as a solvent in fragrance formulations.

Benefits & Uses:

• Helps control bacteria in water-based cosmetics.
• Suitable for creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners and shower gels.
• Liquid form makes weighing and mixing convenient.
• Can form part of a combined preservative system for wider protection.

How to Use: The typical use level is 0.5-1% by weight of the finished product. For a final 1 kg batch, this means 5-10 g of phenoxyethanol, included within the total formula weight. Weigh accurately and mix thoroughly, following your formulation’s instructions.

Phenoxyethanol alone may not provide enough protection against mould. A compatible booster may require, confirm the finished product’s protection through preservative challenge testing before sale.
