What is Phenethyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol & Propanediol

One of the most exciting ingredients in our products is a multifunctional, broad-spectrum preservative created from all-natural ingredients.

This natural preservative was chosen because it is vegan, free from bovine spongiform encephalopathy, does not contain pesticides, gluten-free, cruelty-free, tree nut/peanut free, does not contain EU allergens, or heavy metals.​This is truly an all-in-one perfect preservative  


What is Phenethyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, and Propanediol? 

Phenethyl alcohol and propanediol are all-natural preservatives derived from non-GMO corn. They have antimicrobial functions against bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold and will help boost efficacy against fungi and bacteria respectively.​ 

Pentylene Glycol is an all-natural preservative derived from non-GMO sugar cane and corn cobs. It has antimicrobial functions against bacteria and yeast.​
