Advens Protect OE Green is a unique, fully natural blend of two powerful multifunctional alkanediols. While conventional versions of this blend are often synthetic, the “Green” grade provides a sustainable pathway for “Clean Beauty” brands without sacrificing the performance of the classic OE combination. It functions by reducing the surface tension of microbial cell membranes, allowing other antimicrobials to penetrate more effectively.
Key Benefit: Delivers dual-action functionality by boosting preservation efficacy while simultaneously providing emolliency and neutralizing body odor-causing bacteria.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
Humectancy: The Caprylyl Glycol component provides humectant properties, helping to maintain skin hydration levels.
Synergistic Boosting: Significantly reduces the required dosage of traditional preservatives (like organic acids or phenoxyethanol) by increasing their bioavailability.
Deodorizing Activity: Targets and inhibits the growth of odor-forming bacteria (such as Corynebacteria), making it ideal for aluminum-free deodorants and foot care products.
Moisturization & Texture: Acts as a medium-spreading emollient that improves the skin feel of the final product, leaving it soft rather than tacky.
