Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of AlphaShield from Citróleo.
AlphaShield is hypoallergenic and anti-irritant. Its powerful synergy of certified essential oils from a sustainable source provides a potent germicidal action by quickly eliminating (within one minute) 99.99% of germs (gram positive and negative bacteria, as well as fungi). AlphaShield helps in the antiseptic power of formulations and can be combined with the action of surfactants for complete cleaning or as antiseptic solutions (also containing alcohol or benzalkonium chloride) for topical use. Its lipophilic nature and high soothing power inhibit the appearance of itching, in addition to reducing adverse reactions caused by disinfection and excessive sanitisation of the skin. AlphaShield is a dermo-purifier that restores the health of the skin, providing moisturisation and control of moisture loss. This active is safe, even in products without rinsing, protecting against contamination by microorganisms. AlphaShield is a cosmetic active that represents a new proposal to conventional bactericides, such as triclosan, for a safe, effective and ecological approach. AlphaShield can still be used as a natural preservative, allowing the finished product to use the “preservative free” claim.
