Product Info:
Optiphen Plus is a broad-spectrum liquid preservative that provides effective protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold in cosmetic formulations. It is free from parabens and formaldehyde, making it a preferred choice for natural and mild formulations. Optiphen Plus is particularly effective in emulsions and water-based formulations such as lotions, creams, and serums. The inclusion of sorbic acid enhances its antifungal properties, ensuring product stability over time.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Add during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to maintain efficacy
- Works best in emulsions, serums, and other water-containing formulations
- Not recommended for highly alkaline (above pH 6) formulations
- Can be combined with other preservatives for enhanced protection
