EHB 900 is a broad spectrum preservative blend where the antimicrobial activity of Benzyl alcohol is enhanced by the boosting effect of Ethylhexylglycerin.
Ethylhexylglycerin is a glyceryl ether, a multifunctional additive that is widely used to boost preservative efficacy, while adding several benefits to cosmetics such as moisturizing, deodorizing agent, skin feel enhancer and fragrance stabilizer. Ethylhexylglycerin decreases the surface tension on the cell membrane of
microorganisms improving the antimicrobial efficacy of Benzyl alcohol. Therefore Ethylhexylglycerin boosts the performance of Benzyl alcohol and helps to reduce the amount of preservative needed, optimizing the safety of preservation.INCI: Benzyl alcohol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin
