Compatible with various cosmetic ingredients, making Phenoxetol versatile in formulation.
*Mildness:
Generally well-tolerated by the skin, with a low incidence of irritation or sensitization.
*Regulatory Approval:
Approved for use as a preservative in cosmetic products up to a maximum concentration of 1% in the European Union.
BENEFITS AND USES OF PHENOXETOL:
Phenoxetol preserves all your formulations from contamination by inhibiting the growth of microbes in them so that they work perfectly on your skin and hair.
Desired tremendously for preventing the products from losing their potency.
Phenoxetol admirably boosts the efficacy of other preservatives and decreases the total amount of preservatives needed in a product.
Phenoxetol is very gentle on the skin and does not cause allergies.
Being a phenomenal antiseptic Phenoxetol is used in topical ointments to thwart infections.
Phenoxetol can be added to insect repellent sprays, food packaging items, makeup, hair colouring, perfumes, and soaps.
WHY IS PHENOXETOL ADDED TO COSMETICS?
In perfumes, fragrances, soaps, and cleansers, Phenoxetol works as a stabilizer.
In other cosmetics, Phenoxetol’s used as an antibacterial and/or a preservative to prevent products from losing their potency or spoiling.
FNCTIONS OF PHENOXETOL:
*Antimicrobial:
Phenoxetol helps to slow down the growth of micro-organisms on the skin and neutralise microbial growth.
*Preservative :
Phenoxetol inhibits the growth of micro-organisms in cosmetic products.
In the paint industry, Phenoxetol is used as a solvent for paint inks, waxes, shellac, paints, varnishes and epoxy resin coatings.
Phenoxetol can therefore be used in paint strippers, especially in combination with compatible viscosity enhancers, to make the mixture adhere to the painted surfaces.
Phenoxetol products provide easy paint removal without damaging the surface and structure of metal, concrete or other finishes.
Phenoxetol is important to check that Phenoxetol does not dissolve the parts or their structure.
HISTORY AND SYNTHESIS OF PHENOXETOL:
Phenoxetol was first prepared by W. H. Perkin Jr. and his graduate student Edward Haworth in 1896.
They reacted sodium, phenol and 2-chloroethanol in anhydrous ethanol.
Starting from the 1920s, Phenoxetol has been commercially available as a cellulose acetate solvent under the trademark of "Phenyl cellosolve".
Phenoxetol is produced in the industry by the hydroxyethylation of phenol (Williamson synthesis), for example, in the presence of alkali-metal hydroxides or alkali-metal borohydrides.
EFFICACY OF PHENOXETOL:
Phenoxetol is effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and the yeast Candida albicans.
HOW PHENOXETOL WORKS:
Phenoxetol works by preventing the growth of a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative microbes.
Phenoxetol also acts as a stabiliser in cosmetic products.
Phenoxetol is active against gram negative/positive bacteria but weak against mold and yeast.
Preservative booster is needed.
CONCENTRATION AND SOLUBILITY OF PHENOXETOL:
The maximum concentration for use of Phenoxetol is 1% of the overall formulation.
Phenoxetol is soluble in water, ethanol, alcohol, and oils.
HOW TO USE PHENOXETOL:
Premix Phenoxetol with other preservatives and oil.
Heat this oil phase to 35° C.
Combine the water phase ingredients and heat up to 40° C.
Slowly add the water phase to the oil phase while homogenising.
Continue homogenising for 5 minutes.
HOW IS PHENOXETOL PRODUCED?
Phenoxetol production occurs by the reaction of phenol with ethylene oxide under basic environmental conditions.
WHAT ARE PHENOXETOL'S PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES?
In terms of physical appearance, Phenoxetol is in the form of a colorless oily liquid.
Phenoxetol has a pleasant odor.
The melting point is between 11 °C and 13 °C.
The boiling point is 247 °C.
The density of Phenoxetol is 1.107 g/ml at 20 °C.
Its solubility is low in water because Phenoxetol is an oily liquid.
Phenoxetol has good solubility in ethyl alcohol, ether and sodium hydroxide .
Stability:
Phenoxetol is stable in the presence of alkaline chemicals and acids.

*perfume
*foundation
*blush
*lipstick
*soaps
*hand sanitizer
*ultrasound gel, and more
