Kem Nat Lite (INCI: Glyceryl Caprylate, Propanediol, Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid) is a high-performance preservative system. It was specifically developed as a modern solution for natural and mild cosmetics where aromatic alcohols—such as Benzyl Alcohol—are undesirable due to sensitivity or scent profile constraints. This synergistic liquid blend provides robust microbial control while maintaining a low-color and low-odor profile.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Benzyl Alcohol-Free: Ideal for “fragrance-free” or hypoallergenic formulations where traditional aromatic preservatives may cause skin sensitization or olfactory interference.
-
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Combines the antibacterial power of Benzoic Acid with the potent antifungal activity of Sorbic Acid, further boosted by the membrane-disrupting properties of Glyceryl Caprylate.
-
Efficient at Low Dosages: Engineered to deliver full-spectrum protection at reduced use levels compared to single-ingredient preservatives, minimizing the risk of skin irritation.
-
Enhanced Skin-Feel: Propanediol and Glyceryl Caprylate function as multifunctional skin-conditioning agents, providing humectancy and emolliency during application.
-
Global Compliance: Fully approved for use in all major global markets without restriction, making it a reliable choice for international “clean beauty” brands.
Formulation Guidelines
-
pH Sensitivity: As a system based on organic acids, its efficacy is pH-dependent.
-
Incorporation: Supplied as a clear liquid; it is easily incorporated into the aqueous phase or during the cooling phase of an emulsion.
-
Target Applications: Specifically recommended for sensitive skin products, baby care, and “mild” natural cosmetics where high purity and low sensory impact are required.
-
Multifunctional Use: Effectively bridges the gap between a traditional preservative and a skin-conditioning active.
