dermosoft® GPT MB is a unique glyceryl ester engineered to reduce dependency on tropical oils by utilizing European sunflower sources. As a multifunctional wetting agent, it integrates into microbial cell membranes, increasing permeability and ultimately leading to cell death. Unlike traditional glyceryl esters (GMCY/GMCP), it has minimal impact on emulsion viscosity, making it a “formulator-friendly” choice for maintaining texture.
Key Benefit: A powerful pigment wetter and microbiome-respecting booster that provides robust antimicrobial support without disrupting the skin’s natural diversity.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
- Preservation Synergy: Targets Gram-positive/negative bacteria and yeast. Note: It requires a fungicidal partner (e.g., Sodium Levulinate or Potassium Sorbate) for full coverage.
- Microbiome Safety: In vivo studies show it does not alter global microbial diversity (Shannon Index), unlike phenoxyethanol, which significantly reduces total counts.
- Color Cosmetics: Improves pigment wetting and dispersion, leading to increased color intensity and more economical pigment use.
- Emulsion Optimizer: Acts as a co-emulsifier to produce a more uniform droplet size distribution.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
dermosoft® GPT MB is a stable liquid that may require gentle heating if stored in cool environments.
Formulation Tip: Use in combination with dermosoft® 1388 NaL or hydroxyacetophenone to achieve Criterion A preservative efficacy across all five standard organisms.
