Minimalist Formulations and the Rise of Multifunctional Cosmetic Ingredients like 1,2 Hexanediol, EHG and 1,2 Octanediol

In today’s fast-moving cosmetic industry, consumers are choosing products with fewer ingredients that still deliver great results. This trend, known as minimalist beauty, focuses on using clean, safe, and effective ingredients that serve multiple purposes. It’s all about simplicity without sacrificing performance.

Jayman Industries, a manufacturer of cosmetic chemicals in India, is helping brands around the world embrace this movement with high-quality specialty chemicals and cosmetic intermediates like 1,2 Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin.

 The Power of Multifunctional Ingredients

To create minimalist beauty products, formulators rely on ingredients that can do more than one job. These specialty chemicals are multifunctional, effective, and easy to use.

Key Ingredients for Minimalist Formulations:

• 1,2 Hexanediol A gentle humectant and preservative booster. Keeps skin hydrated while helping control microbial growth.

• Ethylhexylglycerin Offers skin conditioning, odor control, and helps boost the performance of other preservatives.

• Phenoxyethanol A globally accepted preservative that works well with multifunctional ingredients.

• 1,2 Octanediol Provides antimicrobial protection and adds softness to skin and hair products.

• 1,2 Pentanediol A great solvent and preservative enhancer that also hydrates.

• Lauryl Lysine Improves texture and helps control shine. Often used in powders and matte finishes.
