Plantraction CA-100 is a high-purity natural extract that provides a plant-based alternative to synthetic benzoic acid. While many “natural” products use synthetic organic acids, this extract allows formulators to maintain a 100% Natural Origin Index (NOI 1.0) by sourcing the active directly from Cassia Oil. It is primarily used to target yeasts and molds.
Key Benefit: A “clean-label” botanical preservative that provides robust antibacterial protection while fulfilling the strict raw material requirements for ecolabels certification.
Performance & Biological Activity
- Antibacterial Support: While strongest against bacteria, it provides esome antifungal activity at lower pH
- High Purity: The extraction process ensures a consistent concentration of the active Benzoic acid component, allowing for precise dosing in sensitive formulations.
- Sustainable Sourcing: By utilizing Cinnamomum Cassia, the ingredient taps into established botanical supply chains that avoid the fossil-fuel-based precursors of traditional preservatives.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
As a natural organic acid, the efficacy and solubility of Plantraction CA-100 are strictly dependent on the final pH
