BioEco 94 is a patented technology that delivers broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection while functioning across five dimensions: antimicrobial, microbiome-supportive, antioxidant, chelating, and surfactant properties. It utilizes maltol (from sugarcane ferment) as a key active component to drive efficacy and stability.
Key Benefit: Provides broad-spectrum protection while actively preserving the skin’s commensal bacteria, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Performance & Clinical Data
- Antimicrobial Spectrum: Achieves required log reductions per ISO 11930 challenge testing against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, and A. brasiliensis.
- Microbiome Safety: Comparative testing against phenoxyethanol and parabens showed that BioEco 94 has only a slight influence on the skin microbiome, whereas conventional systems significantly reduced beneficial populations.
- Antioxidant Activity: Free-radical scavenging (DPPH assay) results are comparable to L-ascorbic acid.
- Chelation Efficacy: Demonstrates chelation properties equivalent to EDTA, potentially reducing the need for synthetic chelators in the formula
Formulation Guidelines
- it is specifically optimized for emulsion-based cosmetic formulations
