A Globally Approved Phenoxyethanol Preservative for Leave-on Applications

 
NEOLONE PH-100 is a broad-spectrum preservative and antimicrobial additive from LANXESS, previously manufactured by DuPont, that is highly effective against bacteria, yeast, and fungi. It works well in a wide pH range of 4.0 to 8.0, making it ideal for water-based cosmetic and personal care products, including baby care, skin care, and hair care products. This allows formulators significant flexibility in product design and synergy with various active ingredients.

NEOLONE PH-100 is characterized by its dual solubility, possessing compatibility in both water and oil-based systems; allowing it to integrate seamlessly across diverse formulations. This versatility simplifies the formulation process, ensuring that it meets both functional and aesthetic needs without compromising product integrity.
