Personal Care Ingredients

SENSIVA SC 10 is a multifunctional cosmetic additive based on ethylhexylglycerin and caprylyl glycol. Its unique properties make it suitable for use in a wide range of cosmetic applications. It combines the excellent skin care and deodorising properties of ethylhexylglycerin with the moisturising and antimicrobial properties of caprylyl glycol. sensiva® SC 10 is a mild humectant and skin emollient with a unique skin feel. Additionally, it can contribute to the antimicrobial stability of cosmetic formulations. It can also be used to improve the efficacy of traditional cosmetic preservatives, such as parabens or phenoxyethanol.

SENSIVA SC 50 is a globally approved, versatile and multifunctional additive, as well as a very effective deodorant active. As an emollient, it improves the skin feel of cosmetic formulations. sensiva® SC 50 reliably inhibits the growth and multiplication of odour-causing bacteria, while at the same time not affecting the beneficial skin flora. Additionally, it can boost the efficacy of traditional preservatives and act as anti-microbial stabiliser in combination with other cosmetic ingredients.

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.
