Phenoxyethanol

It can be found naturally in green tea, but when used commercially is of synthetic origin.

Phenoxyethanol is suspected to be an endocrine disruptor and toxic to the liver. However, it is not considered as a potential endocrine disruptor by the Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX).
Some limited studies have shown skin irritation and allergic reaction of phenoxyethanol on the nappy area for babies, and the European Cosmetics Regulation has set a safe maximum concentration limit of 1%.

We use phenoxyethanol well below the permitted concentration in most of our products, as per our safety criteria and following cosmetic regulations in each country.
