Suggested Applications

Rinse-off-Cosmetics

Care-Products

Optiphen BD preservative has proven to be an effective preserving system for rinse-off-products like shampoos, shower-gels, foam-baths etc., as these products generally have slightly acidic pH, which is a necessary condition for a safe use, as explained above.

Optiphen BD preservative is well suited for high-quality care-cosmetics like creams, emulsions, lotions and gels, if they conform to the necessary pHconditions. Optiphen BD preservative can be used in O/W-emulsions as well as in W/O-emulsions.

Wet- Wipes

We can also recommend Optiphen BD preservative for use in wet wipes systems due to its good antifungal effect. It is important to control the acidic pH-value after the wipe is produces. This helps to eliminate any possible influence of the base sheet.
