Description

Benzyl Glycol is an organic compound, derived from glycols and benzyl alcohol, which performs several important functions in cosmetic formulas. It is most commonly added as a moisturizer, solvent or emollient, as well as an aid in preservation. This component helps maintain an optimal level of moisture in the skin, promotes better distribution of active ingredients in the formula, and improves the stability of the product. It can also enhance the antiseptic action of preservatives, reducing the need for large amounts of synthetic preservatives.
