Evicide® magnolia 85 (INCI: Glyceryl Caprylate, Pentylene Glycol, Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract) is a 100% natural, synergistic broad spectrum blend. This multifunctional powerhouse combines the antimicrobial strength of high-purity Magnolia bark with a natural ester and a bio-based glycol. It is designed to provide robust broad-spectrum protection while offering additional skin-care benefits, such as sebum regulation and soothing activity.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Synergistic Broad-Spectrum Protection: The blend uses three complementary mechanisms to control bacteria, yeast, and mould. This “hurdle” approach ensures high efficacy at low dosage levels.
-
pH Independence: fully effective across a wide pH range. This allows for total formulation freedom in high-pH cleansers or neutral emulsions.
-
Anti-Acne & Sebum Regulation: The Magnolia officinalis extract is rich in Honokiol and Magnolol. These polyphenols are highly effective against Propionibacterium acnes, making this blend ideal for blemish-prone skin.
-
Dual Solubility: It is both water-miscible and oil-soluble. This unique property ensures it distributes evenly across both the water and oil phases of an emulsion, providing 360-degree protection.
-
Skin Conditioning & Humectancy: Beyond preservation, it acts as an emollient (via Glyceryl Caprylate) and a humectant (via Pentylene Glycol), improving the skin’s moisture barrier and overall feel.
