Troy Corporation has achieved Cosmos approval for TroyCare LSB1, the first natural based preservative introduced by Troy for personal care and cosmetic products. This attestation of conformity was granted by Ecocert for LSB1, whose naturally derived raw materials have been assessed as compliant to the COSMOS v3.0 – September 2018 standard.
 
“This is exciting news,” said Troy’s David Koehl, global head – home and personal care, speaking from the company’s exhibit at In-Cosmetics Global 2019 in Paris. “Cosmos approval represents an important milestone for our new LSB line of natural preservatives, and supports our strategy of developing and offering more sustainable preservatives that fit today’s consumer trends while still delivering excellent performance and cost efficiency. Cosmos approval effectively ‘green’ lights this advanced preservative for the most eco-conscious formulators around the world,” continues Koehl.
 
TroyCare LSB natural preservatives are a series of organic acid based preservatives using naturally sourced and natural-identical ingredients with consumer friendly INCI listings. TroyCare LSB offers superior broad-spectrum efficacy compared with other natural preservatives, as well as performance at lower use levels for exceptionally low cost-in-use. Additionally, TroyCare™ LSB is effective over a wider system pH range for greater compatibility.
 
“TroyCare LSB offers formulators the type of natural preservation their customers are asking for without the high cost that is typical of other similar options,” noted Koehl.
