Product Description: Presatil Phenox (Phenoxyethanol) is a versatile preservative widely used for its excellent solubility and stability across various pH levels and temperatures. It is effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and is highly compatible with all surfactant types (anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric). It often serves as a carrier for other preservatives with low water solubility, enhancing their overall antimicrobial effectiveness.
Application: It is used extensively in skin care, hair care, and bath products.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place; keep the container closed when not in use.
Dosage: Typically used at concentrations up to 1.0% when used alone, though lower concentrations may be sufficient in combination with other antimicrobial agents.
Shelf time: 2 years from manufacturing date
