A-Silkne

Silkne is a synergistic blend designed to significantly reduce the microbial load in complex anhydrous and emulsion systems. It shows synergy with natural multifunctionals like Glyceryl Caprylate.

Key Features & Technical Efficacy

  • Broad-Spectrum Synergy: While alone it provides immediate reduction of bacteria (reaching inhibition within 7 days), it shows “excellent” broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, yeast, and mould when combined withGlyceryl Caprylate.

  • Versatile Formulation Stability: Proven effective across three distinct categories:

    • Oil Balms:

    • O/W Creams

    • Shampoos

Formulation & Use Guidelines

  • Preservative Booster Level: 1.0% for bacteria-focused boosting, higher for brad spectrum and best paired with Caprylyl caprylate

  • Applications: Oil-based balms, O/W emulsions, and surfactant-based shampoo systems.

  • Compatibility: Ideal for “Clean Beauty” brands looking to eliminate traditional parabens or phenoxyethanol.
