Phenoxyethanol is a widely used, broad-spectrum preservative suitable for skin and hair care formulations. It is effective against a range of bacteria, yeast, and mold, and is often used as a primary preservative or in blends with other antimicrobial agents to enhance efficacy. Its stability across a broad pH range and compatibility with many formulation types make it a versatile choice for emulsions, serums, cleansers, and other water-based systems. Please note the maximum % allowable is 1% and it does thin down surfactant based products.

Please Note:

While some of our stock products can be customized with scents, additives, etc., at-home customization should be done at your own risk. We are not liable for formulas that break as a result of customer alterations. Altering cosmetic products is a complex and variable process, and there is not a one size fits all method for the customization of any formula. We encourage you to experiment in small test batches, do outside research before attempting to customize a product, and have your customized product tested at a third party lab to ensure preservation efficacy.
