　　Ethylglycerol, also known as octylglycerol, is often added to cosmetics and skincare products to moisturize the skin. Ethylglycerol is a preservative in skincare ingredients and has minimal irritation to the skin. It is often used in high-end skincare products. In addition, the addition of ethyl hexyl glycerol in lotion can also play a very good antibacterial effect, and also has a certain deodorization. Adding ethylhexyl glycerol can effectively inhibit the production of odors in water emulsions, thereby avoiding the continuous growth of bacteria. Therefore, adding Z-hexyl glycerol to skincare products can also extend its shelf life.
