INCI: Gluconolactone (and) Sodium Benzoate
Description: Specially formulated by Lonza, Geogard® Ultra provides a single solution to companies seeking alternatives to traditional preservatives. Instead of a harsh, aggressive approach with bacteria and fungi, Geogard® Ultra helps prevent product spoilage by utilizing less aggressive: “Hurdle Technology.” This creates an environment that is hostile for microbes to overcome, increasing the self-preserving environment of formulations.
Geogard® Ultra is a free flowing, white powder with a mild scent. It
not only provides effective protection against product spoilage, but it can also increase the skin moisturizing capacity of the formulation. Its broad-spectrum activity and multi-functionality means it can be utilized in a wide variety of cosmetic products like shampoos, lotions and skin creams.
Usage:
• Can be used in a wide variety of personal care formulation for reliable preservation.
• Broadly compatible with nonionic, cationic and anionic systems.
• Compatible with most cosmetic raw materials
• Recommended use levels in a finished formulation is 0.75% - 2.0%
• It is effective over a broad pH range from 3 - 7
• Compounding procedures: May be added to water phase with heat or can be added at cool-down. When added at cool-down, it will be helpful to make a solution to ensure proper incorporation
• Exceptional toxicity profile, long history of use, non-sensitizing and non-irritating
Please Note: As with any manufacturing process, New Directions Aromatics encourages small, lab scale manufacturing for evaluation purposes prior to full commercial manufacturing.
