Preservatives are agents that prevent the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and prevent decay.

One of the more representative ones is phenoxyethanol, which is a good solvent and preservative. It is often used as a solvent in the preparation of preservatives to dissolve other oil-soluble preservatives, but it can be used as an emulsifier. Therefore, it is necessary to consider its impact on the product itself when using it. It should also be noted that phenoxyethanol is unstable at some high pH values.

Is cosmetic grade antiseptic and antifungal agent really safe and secure? Why do I even dare not use preservative-free skin care products? What is the role of preservatives? The answer is no. The root of this question comes from our misunderstanding of preservatives. If you ask a friend casually what the preservatives in skin care products are used for, you will basically get this answer: prevent skin care products from breaking down. However, the more important role of preservatives is: to prevent fungi and bacteria.

Everyone has a heart for beauty, and the research on cosmetics has never stopped since ancient times. As we all know, cosmetics have the functions of whitening, moisturizing, and moisturizing. These functions are attributed to the effects of various effective ingredients. Most of them are oil or nutrient ingredients, which are very susceptible to microbial infection and spoilage, resulting in deterioration of product quality. Preservatives are substances that can prevent the growth of microorganisms in the product. In cosmetics, the role of preservatives is to prevent the product from being contaminated by microorganisms, extend the shelf life of the product, and ensure the safety of the product.

During the storage and sales of cosmetics, precipitation, delamination, and mildew sometimes occur. The reason is mainly caused by microbial pollution. This kind of cosmetic's bad appearance, odor, and spoilage will not only damage the brand's reputation, but also directly or indirectly affect consumers' physical and mental health. Therefore, antiseptic control of cosmetics is one of the keys to ensure the quality of cosmetics.

Daily chemical products, especially creams and lotions, need to be in contact with the face and skin for a long time.
