EUXYLK 700 is a liquid cosmetic preservative, which can be used in leave-on as well as rinse-off products. EUXYL K 700 was developed for use in cosmetic formulations with a skin-friendly pH value up to 5.5. EUXYL K 700 has a broad, balanced spectrum of effect against bacteria, yeasts and mould fungi as well as a good vapour phase effectiveness. As a result of the special preparation, the tendency to discolouration known for sorbic acid can be reduced or prevented. In addition EUXYL K 700 can be stored for a longer period.

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.

SENSIDIN DO combines the well-known deodorant and skin care properties of ethylhexylglycerin with the antimicrobial properties of octenidine HCl. The synergistic combination of these active ingredients provides good efficacy in deodorants at very low use concentrations. In order to achieve practical use concentrations for deodorants, this combination has been diluted with the widely-used solvent and humectant, propylene glycol. sensidin® DO reliably inhibits the growths and multiplication of odour-causing bacteria on the skin. sensidin® DO is a clear colourless to light yellow liquid concentrate with a slight characteristic odour.

S&M PROPYLPARABEN comprises a single active ingredient and has broad-spectrum efficacy. This crystalline powder is a powerful preservative even at low use concentrations, and is stable across a broad pH and temperature range. s&m Propylparaben is fully effective both in anionic as well as cationic systems. Acidic pH values have no negative influence on the effectiveness. High pH values (> pH 8.0) should be avoided.
