A need exists for preservatives that do not contain alcohol, parabens, isothiazolones, halogens or formaldehyde donors. At the same time, manufacturers of wipes and other personal care products request cost-effective progressive preservative systems.
Ashland’s new Optiphen P preservative technology platform addresses these needs. According to the company, the new technology offering is based on an optimized delivery system that maximizes the efficacy of the actives.
Optiphen DP preservative is the first technology from this platform to be introduced to the market. It is based on benzoic acid and DHA and also contains propanediol, propylene carbonate and PVP. The product provides comprehensive antimicrobial protection in both aqueous and emulsion type formulations. Additionally, this preservative meets the growing consumer trend for natural products and conforms to the requirements of several eco-labels, including Bra Miljöval (Good Environmental Choice), Nordic Eco-labelling (Swan), and the EU Eco-label (Flower) 2014/893/EC.
Optiphen DP preservative is easy to use. The addition of 1% Optiphen DP preservative showed excellent efficacy when combined with 0.3% of the booster Optiphen OD preservative in wipes systems, according to Ashland.
Optiphen DP preservative has been shown to protect products in the range of 0.3% to 2.0%. Optiphen DP preservative contains organic acids, and accordingly, is recommended for products at pH of 6.0 or lower.
