Phenoxetol® SG - a new preservative for cosmetics derived from bio-based ethanol
Consumers are increasingly demanding more sustainable beauty products. The importance of green claims is rising, and this market trend is also affecting preservatives as one of the core and indispensable ingredients of cosmetic formulations.
Phenoxyethanol is one of the widely used and very efficient preservatives in cosmetic formulations. However, phenoxyethanol is fully fossil based. Our phenoxyethanol Phenoxetol SG offers the same performance as the fossil-based phenoxyethanol but comes with a higher naturality index.
Phenoxetol SG is derived from bio-based ethanol, resulting in a renewable carbon index (RCI) of 25%. Phenoxetol SG is a phenoxyethanol with the same chemical properties as its fossil counterpart, helping to keep the reformulation efforts to a minimum.
