Evicide® levulinate is a 100% natural, antimicrobial ingredient based on levulinic acid and sodium levulinate, formulated with glycerin and water.
Derived from sugar cane via conversion of natural precursors, it functions primarily as a powerful bactericidal agent and is widely used as a core active within broader preservation systems for both rinse-off and leave-on formulations. Its track record in natural cosmetics globally reflects strong formulator acceptance and reliable performance. It is fully water-soluble and particularly effective in surfactant-based products such as shampoos and shower gels; in emulsion systems it performs well, though a complementary boosting agent may be recommended to achieve full-spectrum coverage against yeast and mould.
