Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of Evicide® G 5 from Evident Ingredients.
Evicide® G 5 is a powerful moisturiser and a good aid for achieving a highly homogenous droplet dispersion in O/W emulsions. However, its most interesting activity is the antimicrobial effect in cosmetic formulations with unlimited pH.
Pentylene Glycol is active against bacteria, yeast and mold. The mode of action is based on its amphiphilic structure, which also enables it to act as a potent penetration enhancer.
