Antioxidants & Preservatives

SALIZOLE, presented in granule form, serves as a dual-function cosmetic ingredient with roles as an antimicrobial agent and preservative.

SALIETHANOL is the potassium salt of stearic acid, primarily used in cosmetics for its antimicrobial and preservative functions.

Salidine 0.2 is a liquid formulation widely utilized in cosmetic products for its antimicrobial and preservative properties.

SALICHEM It is a broad spectrum preservative based on a well-balanced content of parabens dissolved in phenoxyethanol. It is a preservative system effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, very effective against yeasts and molds also at low levels. It is one of the most widely used preservatives for the protection of cosmetics. It is globally approved for rinse-off, leave-on and wet wipes.

SALIGUARD ULTIMA II is a natural broad-spectrum antimicrobial blend in powder form consisting of gluconolactone (from the microbial fermentation of corn), which has chelating and hydrating benefits, and potassium sorbate (a food-grade preservative). Gluconolactone and potassium sorbate act as efficient preservatives. Gluconolactone works by slowly releasing gluconic acid over time, which helps contribute to preservation. Potassium sorbate is a preservative with bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties under acidic conditions (pH should be 6 or below). Calcium gluconate is added at a very low level as an inert flow agent. Gluconolactone is reported to stabilize potassium sorbate against discoloration and darkening in aqueous solutions and may be useful in stabilizing sorbic acid in the water phase of a product.

SALIDANT DMH serves as a common water-soluble antimicrobial preservative effective against bacteria. It aids in preventing the growth of fungi, yeast, and harmful bacteria. DMDM hydantoin, the active ingredient, gradually releases formaldehyde, functioning as a preservative by creating an environment less favorable for microorganism growth.
