Details

Active Ingredients: A synergistic blend of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin.

Synergy: Although ethylhexylglycerin is primarily a skin-conditioning agent, it acts as a preservative booster. It reduces the interfacial tension at the cell membranes of microorganisms, facilitating the penetration and efficacy of phenoxyethanol

Benefit: This synergy allows for lower overall preservative concentrations, resulting in milder formulations suitable for sensitive skin.
