MTicide® Coconut is produced through a proprietary fermentation technique that increases the bioavailability of natural phytocompounds, specifically Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid. It is engineered to function as a natural replacement for potassium sorbate, providing targeted antifungal activity by disrupting fungal cellular membranes.
Performance & Clinical Data
-
Targeted Activity: Specifically directed against yeast and mould.
-
Preservation Synergy: Designed to work as an antifungal booster in combination with broad-spectrum antibacterial systems like Leucidal® Liquid.
-
Skin Hydration: In vivo studies show improved moisture levels after 24 hours, with even higher results recorded after four weeks compared to the control group.
-
Conditioning: Provides multifunctional conditioning benefits for both skin and scalp.
Formulation Guidelines
AMTicide® Coconut requires specific handling due to its slightly cationic nature, which can create compatibility challenges in certain systems.
- Anionic Compatibility: Interaction with anionic materials (such as certain thickeners) can produce a visible haze.
- Haze Resolution: If cloudiness occurs, it can often be addressed by adding a solubiliser to the system.
- Xanthan Gum Stability: To achieve a crystal-clear gel when formulating with xanthan gum, the final pH must be maintained at pH3.
- Solubility Profile: Fully water-soluble; also soluble in glycerin and propylene glycol.
- Thermal Range: register to find out
- pH Range: register to find out
- Incorporation: Add to the water phase or during the cool-down phase after emulsion formation
