Plantraction AN-97 is a high-purity natural extract that provides a plant-based source of p-Anisic Acid. Unlike synthetic versions, this extract carries the complete ecolabels approval for organic and natural formulations. It is globally recognized for its ability to target specific microorganisms—particularly yeasts and molds—that are often resistant to other natural boosters.
Key Benefit: Offers a “clean-label” alternative to synthetic preservatives while providing a faint, sweet balsamic aroma that helps mask base odors in unscented products.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
- Targeted Antifungal Protection: Specifically effective against Candida albicans and Aspergillus brasiliensis, filling a critical gap in many natural preservation systems.
- Deodorizing Properties: Inhibits the growth of human-skin bacteria that convert sweat into odorous compounds, making it an ideal “active” for natural deodorants.
- Masking Agent: Its delicate, anise-like scent profile is highly effective at neutralizing the “fatty” or “chemical” base smells of raw materials without requiring a formal fragrance.
- Skin Compatibility: Known for its low irritation potential, it is frequently used in sensitive skin and “hypoallergenic” ranges.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
As a natural organic acid, Plantraction AN-97 requires careful pH management to remain soluble and active.
