Overview
Ethyl hexanediol is an alcohol that is frequently used as a solvent, which means it allows liquids that would not normally mix to coexist together. For example, it could allow small amounts of oil to dissolve in water, which is commonly done for fragrance oils in water-based skincare products.
Ethyl hexanediol is also occasionally used as a fragrance itself, providing skincare products with a pleasant scent. This ingredient has a fairly high viscosity and is made synthetically.
