Description

Phenylpropanol is an aromatic alcohol used in cosmetic products as a preservative-like substance, solvent, fragrance, and moisturizer. It has antiseptic properties and is often used as an alternative to traditional preservatives such as parabens or phenoxyethanol. Phenylpropanol helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, extending the shelf life of products. It also improves texture and can act as a co-solvent for active ingredients in serums or toners.
