Description
INCI Name: Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid.
Optiphen Plus preservative is an innovative preservative made up of a blend of phenoxyethanol, sorbic acid and an emollient base offering effective protection against bacteria, yeast and mould growth with the added benefit of imparting emolliency with the caprylyl glycol.
This combination makes Optiphen Plus a true multi-functional ingredient since the caprylyl glycol imparts good moisturizing and good after-feel to products like cosmetic and skincare formulations. Plus the caprylyl glycol provides some good viscosity modification in some formulations.
Optiphen Plus is a top choice globally approved preservative system developed for personal care formulations where a formulator requires a paraben and formaldehyde-free preservative system.
It is effective as a stand-alone system and functions well with other preservatives.
It is used in all types of applications. It is often used in aqueous and emulsion-type personal care formulations.
Optiphen Plus is compatible with most raw materials in the personal care industry but it is known to thin out emulsions.
Optiphen™ Plus can be easily added to the formulation during pre or post emulsification at or below 80°C.
It works best when used in formulations with a pH below 6.0.
Optiphen Plus is very useful in formulations like creams, sunscreens, lotions, color cosmetics, body washes and shampoo applications.
Usage level: 0.7 – 1.5%
