Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Evicide® levanise eco from Evident Ingredients.
Highly effective and 100% natural broad spectrum antimicrobial mixture. Evicide® levanise eco is a fully water-soluble mixture of sodium levulinate, sodium anisate and the solubilizer glycerin. By using this convenient mixture, solubility issues with anisic acid are circumvented, making application very straight forward.
Due to the excellent water solubility, Evicide® levanise eco can simply be added to the formulations water phase. Evicide® levanise eco is completely natural and complies with all common natural cosmetics certifications such as, COSMOS and Natrue. The Natural Origin Index (NOI) according to ISO 16128 is calculated to be 1.0. Raw materials are sourced from sugar cane or corn (levulinic acid), star anise (anisic acid) and rape seed (glycerin).
In O/W emulsions a booster is sometimes required. We recommend adding either 1 - 2% Evicide G 5 eco or 0.5 - 0.7% Evicide GML.
