What is it?
Phenylpropanol is a natural aromatic alcohol used in skincare as a preservative booster, natural fragrance component, and soothing agent. It contributes to product stability while providing a mild floral scent and gentle skin-conditioning benefits.
Where does it come from?
It is naturally found in some flowers and fruits, like hyacinths and strawberries, and has a hyacinth-like scent. It has growth inhibiting properties that can preserve products, allowing for "preservative-free" formulations.
