EVAGUARD® 103
EVAGUARD® 103 is a balanced combination of the fungicidal agents methyl-, propyl- and ethylparabens dissolved in phenoxyethanol as a bactericidal component. The preservative provides effective protection against Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, yeast and mold.
It is an optimized combination with an efficiency equivalent to standard systems containing longer-chain parabens for preserving a wide range of cosmetics. Pre-dissolution of parabens in a liquid medium makes their inclusion in formulations faster and easier.
EVAGUARD® 103 is a safe and effective blend offering the benefits of internationally recognized cosmetic preservatives with a long history of use with unsurpassed chemical stability and compatibility.
