Phenoxyethanol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H10O2, which can be synthesized by etherification of ethylene glycol and phenol.
Phenoxyethanol is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with an aromatic odor, slightly soluble in water, and easily soluble in ethanol and sodium hydroxide.
Phenoxyethanol has antibacterial effect (generally used together with quaternary ammonium salt), and is often used as a substitute for sodium azide, which is highly toxic, in biological buffer solutions because of its low toxicity and chemical inactivity to copper and lead. It usually functions as a preservative in cosmetics, skincare products, vaccines, and drugs.
