Ethylhexylglycerin is a glyceryl ether used as a weak preservative and skin conditioning agent.
Ethylhexylglycerin is a cosmetic ingredient that is used in skincare products. It is used as an alternative to parabens (preservatives) and is used for its skin-conditioning properties [1]. Ethylhexylglycerin has been reported to cause dermatitis and skin irritation. IS ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN SAFE?
Ethylhexylglycerin is not safe due to its performance as a contact allergen. People with sensitive skin and an existing skin condition are more likely to be impacted byproducts containing this ingredient. However, anyone can be exposed to the possibility of dermatitis and skin irritation as a result of ethylhexylglycerin. Million Marker recommends that ethylhexlglycerin is included as one the chemicals to avoid.
