Dermosoft® 1388 eco NaL is a clear, water-soluble liquid that combines two synergistic organic acids—sodium levulinate and p-anisic acid—with moisturizing glycerol. It is one of the most capable natural blends available, offering a multifunctional profile that includes antimicrobial protection, humectancy, and a gentle masking scent.
Performance & Antimicrobial Strategy
- Full-Spectrum Efficacy: Active across all four major organism categories: Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and mould.
- Emulsion Synergy: In emulsion systems, it is advised to combine this blend with a surface-active antimicrobial (such as dermosoft® GMCY MB or dermosoft® Pentiol eco) to ensure robust product protection.
- Secondary Benefits: Glycerol provides humectancy and skin conditioning, while p-anisic acid offers a masking effect that does not interfere with added fragrances.
Critical Formulation & Solubility Guidelines
Formulators must manage the delicate balance between pH and the solubility of p-anisic acid to avoid product failure.
