Optiphen Plus

Optiphen Plus is a globally approved, broad-spectrum preservative system designed to protect cosmetic formulations from bacteria, yeast, and mold. Free from parabens and formaldehyde, it provides a safe and effective alternative to traditional preservatives while maintaining product integrity. Optiphen Plus is widely used in both natural and conventional skincare for its gentle yet reliable preservation, ensuring longer shelf life without compromising skin compatibility.

Today, Optiphen Plus is trusted in cosmetic formulations as a versatile, clean-label preservative suitable for a wide variety of water-based and emulsion systems.

Description

Optiphen Plus is a standardized preservative blend combining Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Sorbic Acid. This synergistic system provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection while remaining compatible with most cosmetic formulations. It is effective in emulsions, serums, gels, and lotions, especially in formulations with a slightly acidic pH.

Applied correctly, Optiphen Plus helps prevent microbial contamination, safeguards against spoilage, and ensures the safety and stability of skincare products. Its liquid format makes it easy to incorporate during the cool-down phase of production.
