Phenylethyl Alcohol (2-Phenylethanol) is an aromatic alcohol characterized by its mild, sweet, floral, rose-like odor. It is widely used as a fragrance ingredient and functional component in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its antimicrobial properties make it useful in preservation systems, particularly in combination with other antimicrobial ingredients to support broad-spectrum protection. Phenylethyl Alcohol also serves as a solvent and fragrance component, contributing to product stability, formulation performance, and sensory appeal.
