Substituting Phenonip with Phenoxyethanol for Preservation

Question

Can Phenoxyethanol be used as a substitute for Phenonip in cosmetic formulations? What are the differences in effectiveness, especially regarding broad-spectrum coverage, and what precautions (like hygiene, packaging, and storage) should be taken if using only Phenoxyethanol?

MySkinRecipes Expert · Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use Phenoxyethanol instead of Phenonip. However, Phenonip offers broader protection against various microorganisms compared to Phenoxyethanol alone. If you choose to use only Phenoxyethanol, it is recommended to ensure good hygiene during mixing, use appropriate packaging (like airless pumps), and consider refrigeration to help maintain product stability and safety. Many commercial brands do use only Phenoxyethanol, often at around 0.5%.
