E-Leen 58 is a synergistic, all-natural blend of two key alkanediols designed to provide superior solvency and product protection across a wide pH range. A standout feature is its enhanced solvent capability; the combination of Pentylene and Caprylyl glycols surpasses the performance of Pentylene Glycol alone (A-Leen 5) for dissolving hard-to-solubilize actives.
Key Benefit: Specifically effective for polyphenol dissolution and the stabilization of complex plant extracts.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
- Superior Solvency: Saturated solution data at 20°C confirms effectiveness for dissolving salicylic acid, naringin, resveratrol, and quercetin.
- Broad-Spectrum Boosting: Demonstrates antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeasts, and molds, achieving lower Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) than pentylene glycol alone.
- Self-Preserving Emulsions: In an O/W emulsion at pH 5.5, the blend met ISO 11930 Criteria A across all five standard test organisms.
- Clinically Proven Hydration: 4-hour corneometry data shows a statistically significant increase in skin hydration at 1.5% for up to 2 hours post-application.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
E-Leen 58 is a versatile liquid that fits seamlessly into sustainable manufacturing processes
Formulation Tip: For surfactant-based products, combine with other water-soluble antimicrobial agents for optimal protection.
