Germall
II, a white, free-flowing hygroscopic powder, provides a wide spectrum
of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative
organisms, including Pseudomonas species. Germall II is effective with
other preservative materials, especially Methylparaben and
Propylparaben. This combination is a complete cosmetic preservative
system that is effective at protecting well-formulated products from
bacterial, yeast, and mold contamination during product use.
A basic system, which has been proven effective in many personal
care products, is as follows: |
| Germall II |
. . . 0.20% |
| Methylparaben |
. . . 0.20% |
| Propylparaben |
. . . 0.10% |
|
| Germall II is approved for use in the Americas and is permanently listed by the EU at levels up to 0.5% without restrictions. |
|
| Applications |
 |
Safe for both leave-on and rinse-off products. |
|
Can provide effective protection at low concentration levels (0.1-0.3%). |
|
Excellent preservative for shampoos and hair conditioners. |
|
Can be used in a wide pH range (3.0-9.0). |
|
Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, including surfactants, proteins, and other special ingredients. |
|
|
| Every
cosmetic formulation requires a specific preservative system to meet
its individual needs. Therefore, every newly developed or modified
product should be challenge tested to assure
preservative efficacy. |
