Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Evcide® P 810 from Evident Ingredients.
Evicide® P 810 is a mixture of Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol and Decylene Glycol. The main component, Phenoxyethanol, is one of the most used preservatives worldwide and next to its strong antimicrobial activity, the molecule possesses a delicate and pleasant odour. However, even Phenoxyethanol is usually not capable of preserving a product alone and is therefore combined with one or more boosting agents. In the case of Evicide® P 810 this is achieved through the addition of both Caprylyl Glycol and Decylene Glycol.
These two amphiphilic substances possess the ability to interact with microbial membranes, weakening them and making them more susceptible to penetration. Because of this function, they are the perfect fit for Phenoxyethanol, which needs to enter a microbial cell in order to exercise its antimicrobial effect. Therefore, the mixture Evicide® P 810 is a strong and fast-acting preservation blend, for all kind of emulsions and enables the formulator to avoid parabens or other controversial preservatives.
