Hebeatol® Plus DEO (INCI: Xylityl Sesquicaprylate) is a 100% bio-based, biodegradable multifunctional ester that combines potent antimicrobial and deodorant activity. Derived from vegetable-origin xylitol (upcycled from corncob by-products) and sustainably sourced caprylic acid, this nonionic sugar ester acts as an amphipathic surfactant. Its unique molecular structure allows it to target the aqueous phase and the water-oil interface, effectively neutralizing the microbial proliferation responsible for body malodour.
