Aevum Vita 406 is a naturally derived, PEG-free anionic surfactant blend (INCI: Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, Sodium Citrate). This innovative multifunctional ingredient acts as both a high-performance cleanser and a potent antimicrobial additive. It is specifically engineered for “clean beauty” formulations where mildness and multi-tasking performance are required. It provides a sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic surfactants while simultaneously boosting the product’s preservation system.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Superior Foam Quality: It delivers an excellent volume of dense, creamy foam. This improves the sensory experience of rinse-off products without the irritation associated with sulfates.
-
Targeted Antimicrobial Activity: It shows powerful efficacy against bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. Specifically, it demonstrates very low Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values against Candida albicans and Propionibacterium acnes.
-
Anti-Dandruff Support: Due to its high activity against Malassezia furfur, it is an ideal functional additive for specialized scalp care and anti-dandruff shampoos.
-
Synergistic Co-Surfactant: It works seamlessly alongside Alkyl Polyglucosides (APGs). This combination enhances foam stability and overall cleansing efficiency in natural systems.
-
Ultra-Mild Profile: Its gentle nature makes it perfect for sensitive skin. It is recommended for baby shampoos, eye care, lip care, and oral care.
