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.

MinaSolve HEXAM belongs to the class of membrane-active microbicides.
