COSMETIC PRESERVATIVES

2 3

At Iscaguard, our preservatives are formulated to offer broad spectrum protection. We use optimised and innovative synergistic blends, as well as offering single actives. Environmental responsibility and sustainable development is at the forefront of our philosophy.

Today, perhaps more than ever, the safety of the consumer is the most important concern when developing personal care products.

For this reason, it is essential that cosmetics and toiletries are protected from the unsightly and potentially hazardous effects of microbial spoilage.

Iscaguard is continually improving its services by way of award winning and eco-certified formulations to ensure protection for products and people.

Products designed and formulated to reduce the risk of bacterial cross-contamination when added to formulations offering infection control.

Iscaguard Antibacterial Additives

A range of multi-active preservative blends exhibiting broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Supplied as easy to use, readily dispersible liquids. The inclusion of organic acids offers environmental benefits, alongside more traditional systems ensuring the formulator can achieve the highest level of protection.

Iscaguard Paraben Free Liquid Blends

The Iscaguard range includes high purity grades of methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl parabens, as well as their sodium salts. With outstanding efficacy, a long history of safe use, cost effectiveness and universal compatibility, parabens are an excellent choice of preservative for many personal care formulations.

Iscaguard also offers liquid paraben blends. These products have been carefully designed to provide synergistic, broad spectrum activity, while being easy to incorporate into finished products.

Iscaguard Parabens and Liquid Paraben Blends
