Overview
Phenethyl alcohol is a multifunctional ingredient that primarily serves as a preservative. Derived from the Chinese cinnamon tree, this ingredient provides broad spectrum protection for skincare products through its antimicrobial efficacy.
In addition to functioning as a preservative, phenethyl alcohol can also act as a solvent. This thin clear liquid is suitable for dispersing pigments and other minerals, as well as otherwise insoluble liquids.
Finally, phenethyl alcohol also features a rose-like scent, which is useful for masking other ingredient odors or for rounding off the fragrance of a product.
