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.

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.

euxyl® K 903 is a liquid cosmetic preservative, which can be used in leave-on and rinse-off products as well as for wet wipes. euxyl® K 903 was developed for use in cosmetic formulations with a skin-friendly pH value of up to 6. euxyl® K 903 is particularly effective in non-ionic systems.

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
