Phenoxyethanol, also known as Ethylene Glycol Monophenyl Ether, is a glycol ether and bactericide (that functions as a disinfectant, antiseptic or antibiotic) that is primarily used as a preservative in cosmetics and beauty products. It is used as a preservative in vaccines. Phenoxyethanol is included in topical antiseptic solutions, like octenisept used for the treatment of traumatic, acute, chronic, surgical and burn wounds, the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, acne lesions and as the mucous membrane antiseptic.
