Preservative for the Cosmetics Industry

ROKONSAL SSH-1

INCI Name
Methylparaben / Propylparaben

DESCRIPTION
ROKONSAL SSH-1 consists of a powdery combination of Methyl- and Propylparabens. It does not contain solvents and conforms to the regulations of the EC cosmetics law.
The parabenes as basic actives of ROKONSAL SSH-1 become deactivated by nonionic or highly ethoxylated surfactants. This fact can give the necessity to adapt the product-formula to the preserving system.

PROPERTIES
The combination of actives in ROKONSAL SSH-1 predominantly shows a microbiostatic spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. However, at the usual use-levels also growth of fungi and yeast will be inhibited.

APPLICATIONS
ROKONSAL SSH-1 has proven to be an effective preserving system for rinse-off-products like shampoos, shower-gels, foam-baths etc. The commonly slightly acidic pH of these products is advantageous for an effective use of the ROKONSAL SSH-1.

Due to its good skin-compatibility ROKONSAL SSH-1 is suitable for high-quality care-cosmetics like creams, emulsions, lotions and gels.
