EPSAN® C

Natural, broad spectrum and water soluble preservative system

100%CCPFHCV

INCI

AQUA, P-ANISIC ACID, GLYCERIN, POLYLYSINE

DESCRIPTION

Functional vegetal derivatives
EPSAN® C is a new versatile and 100% plant-derived preservative system derived from p-anisic acid and polylysine that has an antimicrobial effect against yeasts, fungi, gram + and - bacteria, making it suitable for applications in the cosmetic industry and oral care.

This synergistic blend binds to polysaccharides (murein or bacterial mucopeptide) present in the cell walls of bacteria and denatures them, causing damage and inducing the micro-organisms to autolysis.

EPSAN® C is effective in a pH range comprised between 4.5 – 7.5, it is almost odorless and does not affect the viscosity of the formula. Moreover, it has high thermal stability which makes it suitable to be treated with raw materials for sterilization or dispersed before emulsification.

ORIGIN

Functional vegetal derivatives

PROPERTIES

  • 100% plant-derived and palm-free
  • Claims “preservative-free” as its components are not classified as preservatives
  • p-Anisic Acid is found naturally in anise and has antiseptic or germ-killing properties
  • Polylysine is produced by bacterial fermentation, blocking the protein complex responsible for cellular proliferation
  • High thermal stability
  • Easy to use and effective in a pH range 4.5 – 7.5
  • Almost odorless and clearly soluble in water at all concentrations

APPLICATIONS

Skincare, haircare, personal care and oral care.
% OF USE: 1.0/1.2% skincare (emulsions); 1.0% haircare (emulsions); 0.8/1.0% lotions; 1.2% organic products; 0.8-1.0% detergents

TEST

  • In vitro: totally non-toxic and not mutagenic with a very poor absorption on the gastrointestinal area;
  • Efficacy: it inhibits Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and molds
>> Cytotoxicity evaluation (MTT test)
>> Microbiological Stability
>> Evaluation of the skin irritation potential
>> Evaluation of the skin sensitization potential
