Frequently Asked Questions

What is this phenoxyethanol and paraben blend used for?

This product is a multi-component preservative system combining phenoxyethanol with methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl- and isobutylparaben. It is supplied as a ready-to-dose preservative system for personal-care and cosmetic formulations, including emulsions and aqueous products.

What is in this preservative blend?

The blend pairs phenoxyethanol with five parabens: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben and isobutylparaben. It is supplied as a single ready-to-dose system so formulators can preserve emulsions and aqueous products without combining the components individually.

Are parabens the same as phenoxyethanol?

No. Parabens are esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid, while phenoxyethanol is the monophenyl ether of ethylene glycol; they are chemically distinct classes combined here for a broad-spectrum preservative effect. This blend deliberately uses both together as a single system.

How is this preservative blend supplied and documented?

It is supplied as a liquid preservative system for personal-care use, with packaging and dosing suited to emulsions and aqueous formulations. Request the SDS and CoA from RawSource for the exact component ratios and handling information, and confirm the dosing guidance for your formulation.

What is the cost of this preservative blend in bulk?

Pricing depends on volume and packaging. Request a bulk quote with your required quantity rather than relying on a list price, and we will return current pricing along with the SDS and CoA confirming the blend composition.
