Ethylhexylglycerin or octoxyglycerin is a glyceryl ether commonly used as part of a preservative system in cosmetic preparations. Ethylhexylglycerin is a colorless transparent liquid. Ethylhexylglycerin can not only have antibacterial and deodorizing capacity, but also Ethylhexylglycerin can enhance the effect of alcohol and Ethylhexylglycerin can increase the moisturizing properties of products. Ethylhexylglycerin is a versatile moisturizer. Ethylhexylglycerin can be a bacteriostatic in the formula. Ethylhexylglycerin can be added to the aqueous phase and also Ethylhexylglycerin can be added to the oil phase. When ethylhexyl glycerin is added to water, it can exert a bacteriostatic protective effect on the environment, the entire formula; Ethylhexylglycerin can be used to avoid adding preservatives and other components of Nipagin ester products. Ethylhexyl glycerin can be used as softener, moisturizing agent and wetting agent for all kinds of skin care emulsion systems, also can be used as shampoo, shower gel and other surfactant formulations. Ethylhexylglycerin can effectively prevent the growth of microorganisms. Adding moderate ethylhexylglycerin when making some cream products can resolve cream absorption, stickiness, and whitening skin imperfections.

Ethylhexylglycerin also has a deodorizing effect. This is because ethylhexylglycerin can effectively prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria that cause a distinctive odor without affecting the human body beneficial skin flora, thus achieving the effect of preventing unpleasant odor. Once a certain amount of ethylhexylglycerin has been added, the effectiveness of the conventional preservative can also be suitably increased. Nowadays, more and more attention has been paid to the application and safety of preservatives in cosmetics. And ethylhexylglycerin can increase the effect of these substances and thus reduce the amount of these substances, thus enabling consumers to use them safely.

In the process of using ethylhexylglycerin, it is best if it is applied to the emulsification system firstly dispersed into the aqueous phase. Also, mild polybasic alcohol can be added to ensure that the dispersion amount of ethylhexylglycerin in the aqueous phase is large. In addition, ethylhexylglycerin can be dissolved in the oil phase as an anhydrous formula to achieve better results when used in combination with phenoxycetol. Ethylhexylglycerin has excellent moisturizing properties, so Ethylhexylglycerin can be used as a multi-functional moisturizer and can play an antibacterial role in the formula. When used, ethylhexylglycerin can be added to the water phase and also to the oil phase. When ethylhexylglycerin is added to the aqueous phase, Ethylhexylglycerin can create an antibacterial environment and exert an antiseptic effect on the entire formulation, so Ethylhexylglycerin is a traditional preservative for synergistic effect. As a result of repeated experiments, Ethylhexylglycerin can enhance the effects of traditional cosmetic preservatives such as ethylhexylglycerin, ethanol, phenoxy methyl lisothiazolinone and methyl paraben. Ethylhexylglycerin mild moisturizer; has many benefits, such as acting as an emollient and can improve the skin feeling of cosmetic formulations. Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient used as an active ingredient in deodorants; Ethylhexylglycerin is used as an emollient and moisturizer in skin care, and Ethylhexylglycerin is used to improve the anti-microbial performance of other ingredients to keep products intact. Ethylhexylglycerin is a colorless transparent liquid. Ethylhexylglycerin not only has antibacterial and deodorizing capacity; Ethylhexylglycerin can also increase the effect of alcohol; can increase the moisturizing properties of products.
Ethylhexylglycerin is a synthetic compound that comes from grains and herbs. Ethylhexylglycerin breaks down the cellular walls of microorganisms and kills them. Ethylhexylglycerin is known to be a safe alternative to parabens. Being an irritant to the skin is the disadvantage of Ethylhexylglycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin; is used to ensure that the shampoo maintains its consistency.

Ethylhexylglycerin is a globally approved, versatile and multifunctional additive as well as a very effective deodorant active. As an emollient and mild humectant Ethylhexylglycerin improves the skin feel of cosmetic formulations.
Ethylhexylglycerin reliably inhibits the growth and multiplication of odour-causing bacteria, while at the same time not affecting the beneficial skin flora. Additionally, Ethylhexylglycerin can boost the efficacy of traditional preservatives and acts as an antimicrobial stabiliser in combination with other cosmetic ingredients. 

Ethylhexylglycerin is a natural preservative and skin conditioning agent made from glycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin is derived from synthetic raw materials. Ethylhexylglycerin has multiple benefits including acting as mild humectant, an emollient and can improve the skin feel of cosmetic formulations. Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient used as an active component in deodorants, as an emollient and humectant in skin care, and boosting the anti-microbial performance of other ingredients to protect products from spoilage.

Ethylhexylglycerin is used in foundation, lipstick, moisturizers, make up, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, antiperspirant, exfoliant, lotions, baby shampoo/lotion/soap, shaving cream, fragrance, makeup remover, tanning lotion, sunscreen. Ethylhexylglycerin, or octoxyglycerin, is a glyceryl ether that is commonly used as part of a preservative system in cosmetic preparations. Ethylhexylglycerin is a relatively new cosmetic ingredient that is used for its surfactant, emollient, skin-conditioning and antimicrobial properties. 

Ethylhexylglycerin is an alkyl glyceryl ether. This means that the ethylhexyl group is bound to glycerin at one end by an ether linkage. 
Despite the different types of names for these ingredients, they all consist of an alkyl group bound to glycerin by an ether linkage. Ethylhexylglycerin and the other alkyl glyceryl ether ingredients may be used in bath products. Ethylhexylglycerin may be used in body and hand products. Ethylhexylglycerin may be used in cleansing products. Also  Ethylhexylglycerin  is used in deodorants, eye makeup, foundations, hair care products and suntan products. Ethylhexylglycerin is a colorless liquid. As cosmetic system of no added preservatives, ethylhexylglycerin has bacteriostasis, moisturizing effect. Due to a synergistic effect of ethylhexylglycerin, dosage of traditional preservatives in cosmetics are reduced, and the antibacterial effect of multi-functional cosmetic additives such as glycol and fatty acids are improved, and unpleasant odor caused by sebum is suppressed. Ethylhexylglycerin is a clear liquid preservative derived from vegetable glycerin, often coconut or palm oil. Ethylhexylglycerin has three jobs in our products: prevent the product from spoiling, keep the product from separating, and soften your skin. Ethylhexylglycerin does this by breaking the surface tension in liquids allowing them to mix together and “soak in” better. The emollient aspect of the ingredients vegetable glycerin source also makes our products feel creamier and softer on skin, and  Ethylhexylglycerin’s antimicrobial qualities help fight germs and bacteria. Ethylhexylglycerin is a fantastic multitasker. For one thing, Ethylhexylglycerin is a much safer substitute for parabens, which are very controversial. Ethylhexylglycerin also helps keep bacteria and germs off your skin and from forming inside the bottle, which in turn prevents body odor and other unfavorable scents from proliferating. Ethylhexylglycerin also keeps our products perfectly blended and has an added bonus of making your skin feel soft and smooth. Ethylhexylglycerin is rarely an allergen.

Ethylhexylglycerin is a type of alkyl glyceryl ether that is made via a process called etherification. One way to make Ethylhexylglycerin involves reacting the sodium salt of acetone glycerol with hexadecyl iodide in boiling glycol dimethyl ether, yielding the acetone compound of α-hexadecyl glycerol. Hydrolysis of the protecting group with acetic acid results in the formation of chimyl alcohol. Alternatively, ethylhexylglycerin can be made by reducing triglycerides with lithium aluminum hydride and boron trifluoride etherate, followed by LAH hydrogenolysis. Ethylhexylglycerin is an ingredient that is found in many skincare and cosmetic formulations. Ethylhexylglycerin is utilized in these products for its natural preservative action and its use as a skin conditioner. It is thought that ethylhexylglycerin’s preservative characteristics come from its ability to also act as a surfactant. Surfactants are ingredients that reduce the surface tension, in the case of Ethylhexylglycerin, the disruption in surface tension and potentially damages the cell membranes of bacteria, preventing their growth. Due to ethylhexylglycerin’s antimicrobial action, it also makes a great deodorizing ingredient. Ethylhexylglycerin is derived from glycerine, obtained mainly from plant-based sources such as soybean or palm.  Ethylhexylglycerin is used in a wide variety of skincare, body, and cosmetic products. Ethylhexylglycerin can be found in bath products, body and hand products, cleansing products, deodorants, eye makeup, foundations, hair care products, and suntan products.
 Ethylhexylglycerin is a skin conditioning agent, helping to improve the appearance of the skin but also has beneficial anti-microbial, deodorizing and preservative effects.

Ethylhexylglycerin can cause some minor irritation to the skin and eyes. This usually occurs in high concentrations. Skincare and cosmetic products typically contain low concentrations of ethylhexylglycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin can function as a preservative, surfactant, deodorizer, and a skin-conditioning agent. As a preservative, ethylhexylglycerin works by reducing surface tension on the cellular walls of microorganisms or bacteria. This results in the destruction of the cell walls for the bacteria, preventing their growth. Ethylhexylglycerin may be an alternative to parabens in the formulation. Ethylhexylglycerin may enhance the function of other preservatives in a formulation, such as phenoxyethanol, methylisothiazolinone, or methylparaben.  Ethylhexylglycerin can support the role of other preservatives, making sure your product is safe and can last. Ethylhexylglycerin also functions as a surfactant. Ethylhexylglycerin is compound that lower the surface tension between two substances and work to mix the two substances. This action is particularly useful in skincare and cosmetic products to mix oil and water-based ingredients, allowing them to be used in moisturizers without separating and in washes without leaving residue on the skin. This is possible because while one end of the Ethylhexylglycerin is attracted to water, the other end is attracted to oil. Thus, Ethylhexylglycerin attracts the oil, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on your skin during the day and wash them away. Due to these properties, ethylhexylglycerin can be found in many different cleansers and body washes. Ethylhexylglycerin is used in many deodorants and deodorizing products. This is due to its antimicrobial action, Ethylhexylglycerin prevents the growth and multiplication of odor-causing bacteria, while at the same time not affecting the beneficial skin flora. The skin-conditioning effects of ethylhexylglycerin are due to its derivation from glycerol. Ethylhexylglycerin has also been found to improve the feel of cosmetic formulations. Tests have shown that ethylhexylglycerin can reduce the tackiness and greasiness of a formulation, as well as increase the speed of penetration. Ethylhexylglycerin is important to note that ethylhexylglycerin can be a mild skin and eye irritant; this is particularly important for sensitive skin types and those who are prone to contact dermatitis.

Ethylhexylglycerin is used as enhancer for traditional preservative systems. Ethylhexylglycerin is used for boosting and fixating of fragrance ingredients. To achieve a long lasting soft and smooth skin feel, a combination of fast, medium and slow spreading emollients is necessary. Ethylhexylglycerin is a medium spreading emollient with a spreading coefficient of about 700 mm2/10 min. The spreading properties are similar to those of dodecyl oleate, hexyldecanol or cetearyl isononanoate. Ethylhexylglycerin is able to reduce the tackiness and increase the speed of absorption of glycerin-containing emulsions significantly. In addition, Ethylhexylglycerin is shown to reduce the greasiness and soaping and improve the overall impression.

Ethylhexylglycerin is a clear, colorless and nearly odorless liquid. Ethylhexylglyceriis stable to hydrolysis, temperature and pH. As a result of Ethylhexylglycerin’s good chemical stability, Ethylhexylglycerin is highly compatible with all commonly used cosmetic ingredients.

Whereas glycerin esters are attacked by lipolytic enzymes, this is not the case with Ethylhexylglycerin due to  glycerin ether structure of Ethylhexylglycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin is effective in pH-ranges up to 12. Use concentration Ethylhexylglycerin can be used as skin care additive and deodorant active in a recommended use concentration of 0.3 – 1.0%. Due to molecular structure of Ethylhexylglycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin can have an influence on stability and/or viscosity of some emulsions. Ethylhexylglycerin has a surfactant-like structure which can affect the hydrophilic-lipophilic-balance (HLB) of an emulsion. The HLB value relates to the hydrophilic and lipophilic properties of an emulsifier and is a first hint of the choice of an emulsifier system. Typically, water-in-oil emulsifiers have HLB values in the range of 3 – 6 while oil-in-water emulsifier are in the range of 8 – 18. Ethylhexylglycerin has a calculated HLB of approximately 7.5. This is relatively high for the use in water-in-oil emulsions and relatively low for the use in oil-in-water emulsions. Thus Ethylhexylglycerin can influence a given emulsifier system in the opposite direction. Ethylhexylglycerin has limited solubility in water (approx. 0.1 %), but is highly soluble in organic solvents, such as alcohols, glycols and glycol ethers. The solubility of Ethylhexylglycerin in selected solvents is listed below. The solubility in the single solvents depends on the whole formulation and has to be tested in individual cases.

Ethylhexylglycerin can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus ethylhexylglycerin feels nice on the skin too.Also, ethylhexylglycerin an effective deodorant and a medium spreading emollient. Ethylhexylglycerin has been used as a common ingredient in bath products, body and hand products, cleansing products, deodorants, eye makeup, foundations, hair care products and suntan products.
