## What it does

A plant-derived molecule that boosts the preservative system while conditioning and softening the skin. It is the reason we can keep formulas safe with fewer, gentler preservatives overall.

## Why we chose it

Our preservative philosophy is: as little as possible, as much as necessary. Ethylhexylglycerin allows us to reduce the overall preservative load while maintaining complete formula safety. COSMOS-approved for natural cosmetics. Plant-derived from glycerin.

## Key benefits

Enhances the preservation system so formulas stay safe with minimal preservatives. Conditions and softens skin for a comfortable feel. Gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive. Supports the clean, minimal formulation philosophy.

## Science notes

Works in synergy with Phenoxyethanol to form an effective preservation system. Plant-derived from glycerin. Inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Does not disrupt the skin microbiome at typical use levels. COSMOS-approved for use in natural and organic cosmetics.
