Ethylhexylglycerin is a versatile humectant that acts as a bacteriostat in formulations. It can be added to both the water phase and the oil phase. When added to the aqueous phase, it creates a bacteriostatic environment that acts as a preservative for the entire formulation.
Ethylhexylglycerin can be used to synergize traditional preservatives, which can greatly improve the antiseptic and antibacterial effects of other preservatives. Repeated challenge experiments have proved that traditional cosmetic preservatives such as phenoxyethanol and methylisothiazolinone can be synergized, reducing the amount of these ingredients in the product and increasing the safety of the product.
Ethylhexylglycerin can enhance the antibacterial effect of alcohols and glycols. Repeated challenge experiments have shown that in an oil-in-water emulsion, it can enhance the antibacterial effect of glycols such as pentylene glycol or octane glycol.
The deodorizing effect of ethylhexylglycerin can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria that cause odor, while not affecting the beneficial skin flora of the human body.
