Phenethyl Alcohol is the preservative.

Ah, thank you Mark!

The only thing is that PEA smells of roses.

Schuelke & Mayr have a couple of products … Sensiva PA 30 and Sensiva PA 40 that use Phenylpropanol instead of Phenethyl Alcohol to cut down on the rose scent if you find it objectionable.
-
Is sensiva PA 40 acting as a preservative or as a preservative booster?
-
The glyceryl caprylate serves as a preservative booster as well. While I am unsure if they have done it purposefully with Aw measurements, I would wager that the free water is very low. At a glimpse, it looks anhydrous, but I would guess that you could have some water in the surfactants.

It looks like Lexgard GCP from Inolex ( Inci: Phenethyl Alcohol (and) Glyceryl Caprylate)
