Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative commonly used in cosmetics, skincare products, and some pharmaceuticals. It serves to prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, extending the shelf life of these products. Phenoxyethanol is known for its effectiveness, stability, and its ability to inhibit a broad spectrum of microorganisms. It is often used as an alternative to parabens and is considered safe for topical application when used within recommended concentrations.
