Spectrastat™ E

Inolex

Spectrastat™ E is a complete system for self-preserving cosmetic and personal care products. Spectrastat™ E contains no biocides or typical preservatives. Instead it uses multifunctional ingredients that have excellent efficacy as biostatic and fungistatic agents. Spectrastat™ E is ideal for personal care products as an alternative to parabens, phenoxyethanol, MIT or other preservatives that may be undesirable. Spectrastat™ E is effective over a broad pH range from pH 4 - 8 with a typical use level of 1.0 - 1.5% (w/w). Spectrastat™ E may be used in emulsion, anhydrous, and surfactant systems. These include creams, lotions, shower gels, and color cosmetics. It may be added to the water phase, at ambient or hot temperatures, or may be added post-emulsification of O/W emulsions.
