An aromatic alcohol with a rose-like scent used as a mild preservative-booster and solvent.
What it does
Phenethyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol that occurs naturally in rose and other flowers. It has a soft floral scent and mild antimicrobial activity, so it is used to support a preservative system and as a fragrance/solvent component. It is a preservation-and-scent ingredient rather than a skin active.
