With the growing consumer demand for natural and safe cosmetic products, the choice of preservatives has become a key concern for cosmetic manufacturers. Traditional preservatives like parabens have come under scrutiny due to potential health and environmental risks. Fortunately, there are alternative ingredients that can effectively preserve cosmetics while offering additional benefits.
UniProtect 1,2-OD (INCI: Caprylyl Glycol) is a versatile preservative-boosting ingredient that provides inherent antimicrobial activity. It can be used as a substitute for traditional preservatives like parabens, offering a preservative effect while also acting as a thickener and foam stabilizer in cleansing products.
Another option, UniProtect 1,2-HD (INCI: 1,2-Hexanediol), is a preservative with antimicrobial and moisturizing properties that is safe for use on the body. When combined with UniProtect p-HAP, it can further enhance the antiseptic efficacy. UniProtect 1,2-HD is suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic products, from eyelid cleansers to deodorants, providing antimicrobial protection without the irritation associated with alcohol-based preservatives.
UniProtect 1,2-PD (INCI: Pentylene Glycol) is a unique preservative that works synergistically with traditional preservatives, allowing for their reduced usage. Beyond its antimicrobial and water-locking properties, UniProtect 1,2-PD can also enhance the water resistance of sunscreen products and act as an effective humectant to improve overall product performance.
As consumers become more conscious of the ingredients in their cosmetics, the demand for safe and effective preservatives is on the rise. Innovative alternatives like UniProtect 1,2-OD, UniProtect 1,2-HD, and UniProtect 1,2-PD offer cosmetic brands the opportunity to formulate preservative-conscious products that meet evolving market needs.
