Evicide® Hydrosens 83 is a ready-to-use, liquid synergistic system that eliminates the need for traditional “listed” preservatives like parabens or phenoxyethanol. It combines the antimicrobial potency of Caprylyl Glycol with the soothing and antioxidant properties of Hydroxyacetophenone, all carried in a hydrating Propanediol base.
Key Benefit: A “fail-safe” solution for dry and sensitive skin, providing robust, pH-independent protection while simultaneously acting as a humectant and anti-irritant.
Functional Synergy Breakdown
- Propanediol (Humectant/Booster): A 100% bio-based solvent that improves skin hydration and reduces water activity, making it harder for microbes to survive.
- Caprylyl Glycol (Preservative Booster): A medium-chain alkanediol that disrupts microbial cell membranes, allowing the system to achieve broad-spectrum efficacy at low inclusion levels.
- Hydroxyacetophenone (Active Booster): A multifunctional nature-identical active that provides strong antioxidant protection and clinically proven soothing effects to reduce skin redness and irritation.
Performance & Formulation Guidelines
Engineered for formulation versatility and stability.
Formulation Tip: For crystal-clear aqueous products where usage exceeds 1.2%, it is recommended to pre-mix the blend with a solubilizer or add it during the heating phase to ensure full dissolution.
