Ethylhexylglycerin is a compound derived from grains. It comes in the form of a transparent liquid that is slightly soluble in water but fairly miscible with alcohol, glycols and mineral oil. It is used in cosmetics for its antimicrobial properties, especially against gram positives. It has emollient, moisturizing and slightly humectant properties. It is used in the cosmetic field as a preservative. It is particularly active against gram positive bacteria, in particular those responsible for the formation of bad smells and for this reason it is widely used in deodorant products. Associated with other preservatives, it broadens and enhances their spectrum of action. It represents a valid alternative to parabens. It is generally used in concentrations between 0.2 and 3%.
