PRESERVATIVES - Indispensable Protection

 

Preservatives are an integral part of cosmetic formulations and consumer safety because they help prevent microbial contamination, not only to protect the freshness of your product, but also to keep you and your family safe from harmful microorganisms.

Consumers are looking for safe and effective cosmetic products: The trend goes toward simplicity and shorter ingredient lists as the modern consumer shows increased awareness of formulation ingredients; they understand their health effects and demand more transparency.

A vast majority asks for alternatives to traditional preservatives including parabens, especially branched chain compounds and formaldehyde donors like DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea and quaternium-15. Moreover, several regulatory restrictions exist on the limited number of preservatives available in the industry.

As a result, cosmetic formulators face a number of challenges in the selection of preservatives, choosing skin-friendly and safe solutions that are also effective and economically viable. Symrise is constantly innovating and developing solutions for your individual product protection needs. As one of Symrise’s key competencies we offer modern, safe and alternative preservative solutions within the SymOcide^® product portfolio which comprises a full range of unique molecules and synergistic blends.
