Hydroguard H 20

HydroGuard H-20 is an optimized blend designed to guard formulations against spoilage while delivering a comprehensive suite of active benefits. It leverages the high-purity humectancy of propanediol as a carrier and solvent for hydroxyacetophenone, a molecule recognized for its stability and multi-dimensional performance.

Key Benefit: Functions simultaneously as a preservation booster, antioxidant, humectant, and soothing agent, simplifying complex ingredient decks.

Performance & Multifunctional Benefits

The synergy between the two components allows HydroGuard H-20 to provide five distinct cosmetic functions:

  • Preservation Boosting: Hydroxyacetophenone is a powerful booster that enhances the efficacy of various traditional and alternative preservation systems.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Provides active oxidative stability for both the formulation and the skin.
  • Moisturisation & Humectancy: Propanediol acts as a high-performance humectant, improving skin hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • Soothing Activity: Hydroxyacetophenone is clinically recognized for its ability to soothe the skin and reduce irritation potential.
  • Conditioning: Delivers measurable conditioning benefits for both skin and hair surfaces.
