ASESpreserve PHEHG/Euxyl PE 9010 Substitute

ASESpreserve PHEHG/Euxyl PE 9010 Substitute is a high-purity (99%) preservative blend manufactured in India, designed as an effective and microbiome-gentle alternative to Euxyl PE 9010. It combines phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin, offering broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection in a transparent, mild liquid form suitable for diverse cosmetic and personal-care formulations.

INCI Name: Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin

Alternate Names: Euxyl PE 9010, Microcare PEHG, Lotioncrafter PE 9010

Purity of the Ingredient: 99% 

Country of Origin: India

Benefits and Uses

• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, yeast, and molds
  

• Mild, microbiome-friendly preservative ideal for transparent and natural formulations
  

• Stable across a wide pH range (pH 3–12) and up to 120 °C during processing
  

• Compatible with various formulation types: leave-on, rinse-off, emulsions, anhydrous systems, wet wipes
  

How It Works

• Ethylhexylglycerin lowers interfacial tension, enhancing phenoxyethanol's antimicrobial penetration into microbial cell membranes 

• The blend exhibits improved efficacy compared to phenoxyethanol alone 

• Achieves microbial reduction with a minimum contact time of approximately 48 hours in contaminated products

pH and Ideal Temperature Range for Best Use

• Effective pH Range: 3 to 12
  

• Production Temperature: Should be added during cool-down stage (< 50 °C) — stable up to 120 °C, but better to add later for integrity
  

How to Use ASESpreserve PHEHG/Euxyl PE 9010 Substitute

• Usage Level: Add at 0.5–1.0% of total formulation; maximum around 1.1% for robust preservation
  

• When to Add: Introduce during the cool-down phase (below 50 °C) to preserve activity and stability
  

• Compatibility Tips: Works well across all formulation systems (anionic, cationic, non-ionic), but high levels of ethoxylated surfactants may reduce effectiveness
