SymDiol® 68 Green is a synergistic blend of two well-established multifunctional ingredients: 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol. This combination offers a dual-action approach to product protection, providing robust antimicrobial boosting alongside significant humectancy and skin-conditioning properties.
Key Features & Technical Benefits
-
Synergistic Protection: 1,2-Hexanediol contributes antimicrobial activity and acts as a humectant, while Caprylyl Glycol provides skin-conditioning and antimicrobial boosting.
-
Bio-based Origin: Derived from renewable resources, making it ideal for “clean beauty” and natural-certified formulations.
-
Versatile Solubility: Soluble in lipophilic solvents like Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides and water (at low concentrations). Note: A solubilizer is required for higher concentrations in aqueous solutions, and it is not soluble in dimethicone.
-
Performance Proven: Challenge test data confirms its effectiveness when paired with other actives like SymSave® H.
Formulation & Processing Guidelines
-
Incorporation: In emulsions, it can be added to the water phase or post-emulsification. In surfactant systems, it can be added at any stage, though it may influence final viscosity.
-
