Benzethonium Chloride USP is a quaternary amine antimicrobial that can also be used as a personal care preservative. Benzethonium chloride exhibits a broad spectrum of microbiocidal activity against bacteria, fungi, mold and viruses. It has been shown to increase moisture levels in the skin with repeated use. Its quaternary nitrogen is attracted to the skin and hair and contributes to a soft, powdery after-feel. The suggested usage levels are 0.5% for skin applications, and 0.02% for eye area products. It can be added at room and elevated temperatures in any phase of production and is soluble in water, lower alcohols and glycols. It is compatible with a wide variety of formulations, and effective over a wide pH range. view less

Ethylhexylglycerin (EHG) is incorporated in personal care formulations. It can be found in hair care products, lotions, cleansers, deodorants, makeup, and suntan products. EHG may function as a preservative (or preservative booster), surfactant, or skin conditioner. EHG acts a preservative by disrupting the surface tension and potentially damaging a bacteria’s cell membrane. In this way, EHG may enhance the function of other preservatives, such as phenoxyethanol, isothiazolinones, or parabens. As a surfactant, EHG lowers the surface tension between two substances. This is useful in skincare and cosmetics where mixtures of oil and water-based ingredients are required. Regarding skin conditioning, EHG is an emollient and mild humectant. view less
