Phenoxyethanol Blends
Synergistic Preservative Systems for Broad-Spectrum Microbial Protection in Personal Care and Industrial Formulations
Phenoxyethanol Blends are ready-to-use preservative systems that combine 2-Phenoxyethanol (CAS 122-99-6) with carefully selected co-preservatives and antimicrobial boosters. Phenoxyethanol, a glycol ether provides strong activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. By blending it with ingredients such as ethylhexylglycerin, caprylyl glycol, or organic acids, these systems extend antimicrobial coverage to include yeast and mould — delivering true broad-spectrum preservation. These blends are paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, and designed for easy incorporation into both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.

True Broad-Spectrum Protection
While phenoxyethanol alone is primarily bacteriostatic, our blends pair it with boosters that enhance activity against yeast and mould — delivering balanced, broad-spectrum coverage across all microbial classes.Lower Effective Use Levels
Synergistic co-preservatives such as ethylhexylglycerin work by disrupting the interfacial tension at microbial cell membranes, improving phenoxyethanol's penetration. This allows effective preservation at total use levels as low as 0.5–1.0%.Wide pH Tolerance
Our blends are effective across a broad pH range (typically pH 3–8.5, depending on the specific system), making them suitable for both acidic and near-neutral formulations without loss of efficacy.Thermal Stability
Phenoxyethanol is stable up to 85°C, allowing our blends to be added during or after the emulsification stage without degradation of the active preservative system.Clean-Label Compliance
All blends are free from parabens, formaldehyde donors, isothiazolinones, and halogenated compounds — meeting the requirements of clean beauty formulations and major global regulatory frameworks.Ready-to-Use Liquid Systems
Pre-blended in optimized ratios and supplied as clear liquids, these systems simplify production by eliminating the need for in-house weighing, dissolving, or balancing of individual preservative components.Our Phenoxyethanol Blends Variants
