Companies that use this ingredient:
Avalon Organic
Jason Organic
Dermae
Alba
Opinion:
Ethylhexylglycerin is a relatively new chemical on the market. Many companies use it as an alternative to parabens and claim that it's from natural sources. Yes, it may have started out as a vegetable oil, but it's gone through several chemical processes to become what it is. This isn't the worst ingredient in the world, but it's also not truly natural, and safety data is highly lacking for this ingredient. There are only four studies or reviews published in the National Library of Medicine.
