Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of Evicide® G 5 eco from Evident Ingredients.
Evicide® G 5 eco is a powerful moisturiser and a good aid for achieving a highly homogeneous 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 mould. The mode of action is based on its amphiphilic structure, which also enables it to act as a potent penetration enhancer.
