Welcome to Stexol Chemicals
EUXYL PE 9010 is a broad-spectrum liquid preservative for cosmetics and personal care products. ashland It blends phenoxyethanol (approx. 90%) with ethylhexylglycerin (approx. 10%), INCI: Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin. rawmatorsophixnatural Ethylhexylglycerin lowers the interfacial tension at the cell membranes of microorganisms, which boosts the antimicrobial activity of phenoxyethanol.
Broad-spectrum formula protection: EUXYL PE 9010 protects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and mould, the organisms that typically spoil cosmetic products. sophixnatural This helps keep your finished product clean and stable throughout its shelf life.
Formaldehyde-free and paraben-free: It contains no formaldehyde donors, parabens, halogens or isothiazolinones. fraterworksashland That makes it a practical choice for brands that want a cleaner preservative profile on their ingredient list.
Effective at low use levels: A typical dose of 0.5–1.0% gives reliable preservative support. rawmatorhandymade It is easy to dose accurately in small trial batches and scales smoothly into full production.
Stable and versatile across product types: It is stable to hydrolysis, temperature and pH, works across a wide pH range and tolerates salts. It does not cloud transparent gels. rawmatorhandymade It works in creams, lotions, gels, serums, cleansers, shampoos and wet wipes, so small and emerging brands can use one preservative across a whole product line. sophixnaturalrangeproducts
Recommendation: Add EUXYL PE 9010 in the cool-down phase, typically once the batch has fallen to around 40 °C or below, and stir until evenly distributed. The blend is heat-stable (the manufacturer states a maximum production temperature below 120 °C), but adding it during cool-down protects heat-sensitive ingredients and makes accurate dosing easier. humblebeeandmemuddysoapco Because its water solubility is limited, pre-mix it with a glycol such as propylene glycol or propanediol when preserving very watery systems such as toners, mists or clear gels. rawmatorhumblebeeandme Very high surfactant loads, especially highly ethoxylated surfactants, can reduce its efficacy. Always run stability and preservative challenge testing on the finished formula.
The ranges below are realistic starting points. Confirm the final use level by stability and challenge testing in your finished formula.
| Product Type | EUXYL PE 9010 in Formula by Weight |
| Shampoo | 0.8 to 1.0 percent |

| Wet Wipes | 0.5 to 1.0 percent |
Target pH: The manufacturer states that EUXYL PE 9010 works across a wide pH range of about 3 to 12, so it suits both slightly acidic and neutral-to-alkaline formulas. ashland In the EU, phenoxyethanol is capped at 1.0% in the finished product, which corresponds to about 1.1% EUXYL PE 9010. Do not exceed this.

Q: What does EUXYL PE 9010 do in a formula?
A: It is a broad-spectrum preservative that prevents the growth of bacteria, yeast and mould in water-containing cosmetic and personal care products.
Q: When should EUXYL PE 9010 be added?
A: Usually in the cool-down phase, at around 40 °C or below. It is heat-stable, but late addition protects heat-sensitive ingredients and makes dosing easier. craftingcosmetics
Q: What is the recommended usage rate?
A: The manufacturer recommends 0.5–1.0% of the total formula. ashland In the EU, phenoxyethanol is limited to 1.0% in the finished product, which is about 1.1% EUXYL PE 9010. rawmator Confirm your final level with challenge testing.
Q: Is EUXYL PE 9010 formaldehyde-free and paraben-free?
A: Yes. It contains no formaldehyde donors or parabens, and it is also free of halogens and isothiazolinones. ashland Note that it is a conventional preservative and is not permitted in COSMOS natural or organic certified products. cosmos-standard
Q: Is EUXYL PE 9010 compatible with surfactants and high-pH formulas?
A: It works in anionic, cationic and non-ionic systems, tolerates salts and is effective up to about pH 12. sophixnaturalrawmator Very high surfactant loads, particularly highly ethoxylated surfactants, can reduce its efficacy. ataman-chemicals In surfactant-rich products, use the upper end of the range and confirm with challenge testing.
