Effisin CG Natural is a 100% natural-origin Caprylyl Glycol that serves as a multifunctional antimicrobial and skin-conditioning agent. As a surface-active molecule, it acts as a powerful preservative booster while improving the overall sensory feel of cosmetic products.
Key Features & Physical Properties
-
Broad-Spectrum Support: Proven efficacy against common cosmetic microbes; significantly enhances the performance of traditional preservative systems.
-
100% Bio-based: Derived from sustainable natural sources, making it ideal for Ecolabel and “clean beauty” formulations.
-
Thermal & pH Stability: Highly stable across a wide pH range and resistant to high-temperature processing.
-
Melting Point: 28–31°C. It transitions from a waxy solid to a clear liquid just above room temperature.
Formulation & Processing Guidelines
-
Incorporation Strategy: Due to its surface-active properties, it is recommended to incorporate it after emulsification. This minimizes potential interference with the primary emulsifier system and ensures emulsion stability.
-
Solubility: * Limited solubility in water.
-
High solubility in alcohols, glycols, and glycol ethers.
-
-
Versatility: Suitable for leave-on, rinse-off, and sensitive skin application
