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 PA 30 is the perfect protection for your formulation. Half natural, half nature-identical. This synergistic blend combines the antimicrobial activity of two nature-identical fragrance ingredients, phenethyl alcohol and undecyl alcohol, with the boosting and skin care properties of naturally derived propanediol. The moisturiser propanediol improves the skin feel of formulations while enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial components. Undecyl alcohol acts as an excellent booster for the antimicrobial properties of phenethyl alcohol and significantly reduces its flowery, rose-like scent (patent pending). The faint scent of sensiva® PA 30 can mask possible unpleasant odours of other ingredients in formulations. sensiva® PA 30 can effectively stabilise cosmetic formulations against typical microbiological contamination. The combination of naturally-derived and nature-identical ingredients makes it an excellent choice for nature-inspired cosmetics.
