Linatural® MBS-5 is a patent-pending liquid system. It utilizes a triple-active strategy: Propanediol acts as a humectant and booster, Phenethyl Alcohol provides floral-masked antibacterial protection, and Benzoic Acid serves as the primary antimicrobial anchor.
Key Benefit: A genuinely multifunctional workhorse that provides reliable antimicrobial activity while simultaneously acting as an emollient, humectant, and conditioning agent.
Performance & Synergistic Strategy
The blend is formulated to provide a “hurdle” effect, ensuring that different classes of microbes are targeted by different molecular mechanisms:
-
Broad-Spectrum Synergy: The system combines a Phenethyl Alcohol and Benzoic Acid synergistic blend for broad spectrum protection against bacteria, fungi and yeast.
-
Multifunctional Boosting: The corn-derived Propanediol reduces water activity and improves the penetration of the other actives into microbial cell walls.
-
Sensory Enhancement: Beyond preservation, the blend may improve the final product’s “slip” and after-feel.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
Linatural® MBS-5 is a stable liquid system, but its efficacy is strictly tied to the final product’s pH due to the presence of Benzoic Acid
