EVA Company presented a new development – ​​preservative EVAGUARD® PE5

EVA has announced the addition of a new product to its preservative portfolio — EVAGUARD® PE5.

What is EVAGUARD® PE5?

EVAGUARD® PE5 is cosmetic grade Phenoxyethanol with a low free phenol content — less than 5 ppm, which is the highest degree of purity of this product.

Currently, Phenoxyethanol is one of the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics, acting as an alternative to preservatives containing formaldehyde.

The scope of application of Phenoxyethanol is quite wide and, in addition to cosmetics and home care products, it is actively used as a perfume fixative, solvent and in pharmaceutical products for topical use.

The main advantages of EVAGUARD® PE5:

It has a powerful antibacterial effect

A safe and globally recognized ingredient

Relatively low input level and synergy with other preservatives

It has good solvent properties

How does EVAGUARD® PE5 work?

The mechanism of action of EVAGUARD® PE5 is based on the ability to disrupt the integrity of the bacterial membrane, blocking key processes in the life of microorganisms. Due to the effect on the Krebs cycle and changes in the membrane structure of gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, this component prevents the proliferation of pathogens and provides long-term protection of the finished product.

Thus, EVAGUARD® PE5 becomes an indispensable assistant for developers and manufacturers of cosmetics and home care products who strive to ensure the safety and reliability of their products.
