Product Application Of 2-Phenoxyethanol Cas 122-99-6

  1.  Phenoxyethanol primarily functions as an antimicrobial preservative, commonly used in infant skincare products, sensitive skin care formulations, creams, lotions, shampoos, body washes, lipsticks, and various other products.
  2.  2-Phenoxyethanol serves as a solvent and solubilizer to dissolve oil-soluble active ingredients (e.g., certain vitamins, plant extracts) in cosmetics, enhancing the stability of water-oil emulsion systems.
  3.  Preservative in topical pharmaceutical formulations like ointments, creams, washes, and eye drops.
  4.  In certain compound formulations, phenoxyethanol assists in local antibacterial action for treating minor bacterial skin infections.
  5. Phenoxyethanol can serve as a solvent and stabilizer in coatings and inks to improve flow properties, enhance storage stability, and prevent deterioration.
  6.  In textile auxiliaries, adding 2-Phenoxyethanol inhibits off-odors and performance degradation caused by microbial growth during storage and use.
  7.  Used in metalworking coolants and lubricants to provide antimicrobial protection and extend fluid service life.
