Main Uses of Phenoxyethanol
Laundry Based Detergents: It is used as a preservative and stabilizer in water-based liquid laundry detergents, stain removers, and household cleaners.
Cosmetics and Skincare Preservation: It stops the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and yeast in moisturizers, serums, anti-aging creams, and facial cleansers.
Haircare Products: It extends the shelf life and prevents contamination in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and hand washes.
Color Cosmetics: It stabilizes foundations, eyeliners, mascaras, and lip products to maintain color, texture, and consistency.
Baby Care: It is used in baby wipes, lotions, and gentle cleansers to block microbial growth.
Perfumes and Soaps: It acts as a solvent and a perfume fixative (helping fragrances last longer without altering the scent profile).
