Ethylhexylglycerin

Low risk

FunctionPreservative

What it is — Ethylhexylglycerin (INCI: Ethylhexylglycerin) is a preservative.

What it does — It is commonly used as a glyceryl ether preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent.

Typical use — It is used at low levels across water-containing products — toners, serums, creams, cleansers and masks — to protect the formula from microbial growth. An adequately preserved formula is a core safety requirement, especially for anything containing water.

Who it suits / good to know — Preservation is essential for product safety and shelf life. Individual sensitivities to specific preservatives exist but are uncommon at typical levels. If you have reacted to a specific preservative before, check the full INCI list.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
