E-Leen P8 is a synergistic dual-active blend designed to provide robust protection even in alkaline formulations. Unlike organic acids that fail at high pH, the non-ionic components of E-Leen P8 are chemically stable across a wide pH range. It works through a non-specific mechanism of disrupting microbial cell membrane integrity, which helps prevent the development of common resistance mechanisms.
Key Benefit: A rare, high-pH stable solution specifically positioned for alkaline systems, deodorants, and hygiene products where traditional preservatives lose efficacy.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
- Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Demonstrates strong activity against bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
- High-pH Success: Achieved ISO 11930 Criteria A at 1.0% in an O/W emulsion at pH 7.0.
- Odor Masking: The Phenylpropanol component provides a faint aromatic scent that effectively masks undesired base odors.
- Skin Conditioning: Caprylyl Glycol provides essential humectancy and re-fatting benefits to the skin.
- Fungal Protection: Phenylpropanol contributes particular strength against fungi, a common challenge in natural systems.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
E-Leen P8 is a clear liquid designed for manufacturing flexibility, though it requires specific handling in surfactant systems.
Suitable for clear aqueous formulations; higher concentrations can be achieved in the presence of surfactants or common solubilisers
