EUXYL K 900 is a liquid cosmetic preservative based on benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin. The addition of ethylhexylglycerin affects the interfacial tension at the cell membrane of microorganisms, improving the preservative activity of benzyl alcohol. Its use is permitted both in products that remain on the skin as well as in rinse-off products. euxyl® K 900 has a broad, balanced spectrum of effect against bacteria, yeasts and mould fungi.

S&M ISOTHIAZOLINONE is effective against bacteria, yeasts and mould fungi in concentration of 0.01 – 0.1 % by weight. The max. recommended use level is 0.1 % in rinse-off and 0.05 % in leave-on products. (Corresponds to the international recommendation of a maximum use concentration of 15 ppm and 7.5 ppm active ingredients in this class of products)

EUXYL K 830 is a liquid cosmetic preservative based on Phenoxyethanol combined with the OCX – Efficacy Enhancing System. The addition of OCX significantly reduces the interfacial tension at the cell membrane of microorganisms. This allows Phenoxyethanol an easier contact, improving its antimicrobial effect through a better ability to attack the cell membrane
