Repack : 10 ml FREE paraben FREE formaldehyde Description : Liquid cosmetic preservative based on phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. The addition of ethylhexylglycerin affects the interfacial tension at the cell membrane of microorganisms, improving the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol. Broad spectrum preservative effective against both Gram-positve and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and mold. Can be used in formulas containing natural raw materials (which have a greater risk for microbial contamination). Good production hygiene as well as the use of raw materials with low microorganism levels, as a result of correct raw material control, are vital prerequisites for the production of microbiologically faultless finished products. Applications: - Creams, lotions, and serums - Formulations containing natural raw materials - Wet wipes - Shampoo**, conditioners and other hair care products - Body washes** - Anhydrous skin care products * High loads of ethoxylated surfactants can result in a loss of efficacy.
Formulation Guidelines : Euxyl PE 9010 is fully effective both in anionic as well as cationic and non-ionic systems, but a high load of ethoxylated surfactants can result in a loss of efficacy. Euxyl PE 9010 shows good compatibility with salts. Euxyl PE 9010 is stable to hydrolysis, temperature (up to 120°C) and pH. It can be used in pH ranges up to 12. Euxyl PE 9010 has limited solubility in water (1% at 20°C), but is readily soluble in polar solvents such as propylene glycol and propanediol 1,3. It is moderately soluble in glycerol and sorbitol. Euxyl PE 9010 exhibits no interaction with sulphite ions Shows good compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. No discolorations have been detected. Shows no interaction with pigments such as TiO2.
