Aplikasi Ethylhexylglycerin dalam Kosmetik

1. Konservatif Booster - Peran Paling Pentingnya

Ethylhexylglycerin is widely used to enhance the efficacy of preservative systems.

It can disrupt microbial cell membranes, significantly improving the antimicrobial performance of preservatives such as phenoxyethanol, parabens, and caprylyl glycol.

This allows formulators to reduce the usage of traditional preservatives and create milder or “preservative-free” marketing concepts.

Umum dalam: cleansers, lotions, creams, serums, baby care products.

2. Agen Antimikroba ringan

Ethylhexylglycerin itself has mild antimicrobial activity, especially against Gram-positive bacteria.

It is often used in “paraben-free” formulations as an alternative antimicrobial ingredient.

3. Agen Pengkondisi Kulit

It helps soften the skin and improve texture.

It also reduces the stickiness caused by humectants (e.g., glycerin), resulting in a smoother, more pleasant skin feel.

4. Peningkat Penetrasi

Ethylhexylglycerin can improve the absorption of certain active ingredients such as niacinamide, panthenol, and botanical extracts.

It is frequently added to serums and functional skincare products.

5. Kulit Rasa Meningkatkan

It acts as a light emollient that enhances spreadability and provides a soft, non-greasy touch.

This makes it especially suitable for leave-on products such as sprays and essences.
