Description
Ethylhexylglycerin is also named as 3-(2-Ethylhexoxy)propane-1,2-diol or octoxyglycerin. It is a glyceryl ether. It is used as a weak preservative, as skin conditioning agent with effective wetting ability. It is used with phenoxyethanol in cosmetics to obtain better protection against microbial growth.

Uses
Ethylhexylglycerin is a natural preservative, used as an alternative to parabens products. It is derived from natural glycerin. Also used as a deodorizer and skin conditioner.
Ethylhexylglycerin is a glyceryl ether and serves as an emollient solvent and a fixative with antimicrobial properties, and it is reported to enhance uptake of preservatives in microorganisms. It is often used as an alternative to parabens. The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients name is Ethylhexylglycerin, and the chemical formula and synonym names are shown in Figure 1. Ethylhexylglycerin is a colorless to pale viscous liquid. It is reported to be used at a concentration up to 2% in leave-on products and 8% in rinse-off products. It is manufactured and marketed by Schu¨lke & Mayr GMBH, Norderstedt, Germany, under the trade name, Sensiva SC50, which is greater than 99% pure. Ethylhexylglycerin is found in many cosmetic products, that is, antiaging creams, sunscreens, eye shadows, eye creams, lip gloss, deodorants, facial moisturizers, and various types of cleansers. Ethylhexylglycerin is the novel raw material for deodorants application and is widely used as a cosmetic emollient. Ethylhexylglycerin reliably inhibits the odor-causing bacteria, yeast and fungi on the skin.
