Symsave® H

SymSave® H is a white to beige crystalline powder that serves as a nature identical multifunctional for high-performance cosmetics. While it serves primarily as a dose-dependent antioxidant and soothing agent, it is most prized by formulators for its ability to significantly boost the efficacy of broad-spectrum preservation systems.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

  • Antioxidant & Soothing: Provides effective defense against oxidative stress while delivering a calming effect on the skin.
  • Microbiome-Friendly: In vivo data suggests that skin microbiome composition is maintained even at effective use concentrations.
  • Preservative Booster: Although not a standalone preservative, it dramatically enhances the performance of ingredients like SymDiol® 68 Green, phenoxyethanol, and sodium benzoate.
  • Superior Stability: Remains stable across a wide pH range and under extreme temperature conditions with no reported emulsion destabilization.

Formulation & Solubility Profile

  • Solubility: Soluble in phenoxyethanol, glycerin, ethanol, pentylene glycol, and propylene glycol.
  • Versatility: Suitable for skin care, hair care, sun care (SPF 30 tested), body washes, and wet wipes.
  • Compliance: Globally compliant with FEMA status and a Cleangredients listing.
