Description

Ethylhexylglycerin is a natural preservative obtained from glycerin, which also acts as a surfactant, deodorizing agent, and skin care agent in cosmetics and personal care products. Ethylhexylglycerin functions as a preservative, preservative booster, surfactant, deodorant, and skin care ingredient. Additionally, ethylhexylglycerin can enhance the function of other preservatives in the formulation. Without preservatives like ethylhexylglycerin, natural compounds, essential oils, and ingredients in your cosmetic products can spoil more quickly. Ethylhexylglycerin also acts as a surfactant. A surfactant is a short-term ingredient for surfactants. In skin care products, surfactants degrease and emulsify oils and fats, allowing them to be washed away. Glycerin is not only a moisturizer, but also a humectant. This means that although it softens the skin, it also draws water from the surrounding environment and helps prevent water loss.
