Quiet protection at the back of the label

Chlorphenesin works across bacteria, mold and yeast, which makes it a useful anchor for a preservative system rather than a specialist. Regulations cap it at 0.3 percent, and formulators typically combine it with phenoxyethanol or a glycol so each covers the other's weak spots. The payoff is a product that stays microbiologically sound for its full shelf life.

It is common in Revision Skincare's mineral sunscreens and treatments, including Intellishade Original SPF 45, Intellishade Matte SPF 45, Retinol Complete 1.0 and Pore Purifying Clay Mask, plus SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

Is chlorphenesin a paraben?

No. It is a glycerol ether, chemically unrelated to the paraben family, and it is one of the preservatives brands moved toward when reformulating away from parabens.

How to shop at ELLEMES

Products bought outside authorized channels can sit in poor storage long enough to outlive their preservative system. Everything on this site comes direct through the brand.
