    First of all I don’t see Ethylhexylglycerin in provided INCI. Secondly, the product is waterless, so no emulsifier is required.

    And thirdly…. I’m not sure why you would consider it an emulsifier, even if it was included.

    Overall …. looks like something a beginner tossed together to try and ring as many ‘claim’ bells as possible. A plethora of irritants and allergens. Look for something efficacious to model!

    Appears to be one of those brands…. that only list…. what they think you want to see. 🙁
