Kem Nat Eco is a 100% natural-origin, broad-spectrum preservative system (INCI: 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Undecylenate). This synergistic blend of three vegetable-derived ingredients is specifically designed for “self-preserving” cosmetic architectures. As a colorless and odorless liquid, it functions as both a robust microbial barrier and a multifunctional cosmetic active, providing emollient and skin-feel benefits without compromising the sensory profile of the finished product.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Synergistic Antimicrobial Activity: Combines the targeted antibacterial efficacy of 1,2-Hexanediol and Glyceryl Caprylate with the pronounced antifungal power of Glyceryl Undecylenate.
-
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Effectively neutralizes Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and moulds across a wide pH range.
-
Multifunctional Sensory Profile: Beyond preservation, it acts as an emollient, improving the texture and application feel of emulsions and anhydrous systems.
-
Formulation Stability: Being colorless and odorless, it ensures the olfactory and visual integrity of delicate formulations remain unchanged.
