Hydroxyacetophenone is a compound that can be found in many plants, although it is manufactured synthetically for skincare purposes.
It is mainly used as a preservative booster and antioxidant, keeping skincare products fresh and unspoiled. The manufacturers claim that it can boost the preservative action of other conservants - which is beneficial because this will reduce the total amount of preservatives used in a skincare product.
Hydroxyacetophenone is also claimed to have soothing effects on the skin, although there are no studies that can confirm this.
