DESCRIPTION: Euxyl® PE 9010 (also known as Plantaserve) is a broad-spectrum preservative used in cosmetics and toiletries. This preservative is a mixture that includes a high concentration of phenoxyethanol with ethylhexylglycerin – which further interferes with unwanted microorganisms at their cell membrane. Good manufacturing practices (GMP) should be executed – preservatives should not be made to take up the absence of GMP as it reduces their efficacy.
BENEFITS
- Safe and effective
- Skin tolerant
- Broad-spectrum against yeast, fungi, bacteria, and mould
- Hydrolysis stable
- Broad pH stability
- Tolerates high salt content
- Good compatibility with cosmetic ingredients
- Mild preservative
- The addition of ethylhexylglycerin reduces the interfacial tension at the cell membrane of microorganisms and improves antimicrobial activity.
- Phenoxyethanol remains the active ingredient in Euxyl PE 9010 – Phenoxyethanol is weak to highly ethoxylated surfactants.
APPLICATIONS: In both rinse-off and leave-on products, creams, lotions, ointments, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc.
