Science & Benefits

Glycereth-18 Ethylhexanoate is a multifunctional glycerin-based ester. It is unique because it provides the skin-softening 'feel' of an emollient but with the water-solubility and weightless profile of a humectant. It specifically helps to reduce the 'tackiness' often associated with high-glycerin formulas. It is entirely non-comedogenic. It is a superior texture-enhancer for acne-safe serums, allowing for the creation of elegant, luxurious-feeling products that provide high-dose hydration without a sticky or heavy residue.
