In recent years, the safety of traditional preservatives has been called into question. Therefore, there is a need for alternatives that are effective, safe and sustainable—and that are non-controversial. In response, the present work investigates a mixture of caprylyl glycol and phenethyl alcohol, which is shown to provide antimicrobial activity in various skin and hair care formulations.

A new alternative to cosmetics preservation and the effect of the particle size of the emulsion droplets on preservation efficacy

A new alternative combination preservative containing caprylyl glycol, phenethyl alcohol and glyceryl caprylate is described and the effects of the particle size of the emulsion droplet on the anti‐microbial activity of the said blend in the formulation are investigated.

Mechanism of action of phenethyl alcohol: breakdown of the cellular permeability barrier.

It is proposed that the primary effect of PEA is a limited breakdown of the cell membrane, and the inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and other cellular functions would be secondary consequences of the alteration in the membrane structure.
