Personal Care Ingredients

SENSIVA PA 20 is a multifunctional cosmetic additive based on ethylhexylglycerin and phenethyl alcohol. Its unique properties make it suitable for the use in a wide range of cosmetic applications. It combines the excellent skin care and deodorising properties of ethylhexylglycerin with the antimicrobial properties of phenethyl alcohol. Phenethyl alcohol is a nature-identical fragrance ingredient with a mild flowery rose-like scent which can mask possible unpleasant odours of other ingredients. Its antimicrobial properties are enhanced by the boosting effect of ethylhexylglycerin. sensiva® PA 20 is suitable as an antimicrobial stabiliser for preservative-free cosmetics.

S&M BRONOPOL is a single active ingredient and suitable for leave-on, rinse-off and wet wipes applications. Product benefits include excellent bactericidal effect and strong activity against gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas sp.). This crystalline powder is a powerful preservative even at low use levels and suitable for a neutral pH rinse-off application

This product is a registered biocide that is unlike the typical n-alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (ADBAC) due to its unique saccharinate counterion. Has very limited water solubility (<0.01%) but larger quantities can be solubilized in water with the addition of other surfactants, or any of several solvents (alcohols, glycols, or glycol ethers). Severe metal corrosivity associated with the chloride counterion in traditional biocides, can be avoided with the use of ONYXIDE 3300.

EUXYL K 940 is a liquid cosmetic preservative based on phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin. The addition of ethylhexylglycerin affects the interfacial tension at the cell membrane of microorganisms, improving the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol and benzyl alcohol. euxyl® K 940 has a broad, balanced spectrum of effect against bacteria, yeasts and mould fungi.
