technical INSIGHTS: PARABEN-FREE PRESERVATIVE SYSTEMS
FOR COSMETICS
Critical Review of
New Alternative Preservative Systems
A growing number of cosmetic formulations are avoiding parabens
and other contentious synthetic materials. However, these alternative
preservative systems do not always give the same performance as
conventional systems. There are also issues related to costs, safety and
stability, especially for preservatives used in natural and organic
cosmetic products.
This Technical Insights report is a practical guide for companies
looking at alternative preservative systems, highlighting their
performance and formulation issues. It is useful for formulators of
cosmetic products, as well as ingredient companies developing new
materials for preservation.
Details are given of the range of natural preservatives available to
formulators, including materials that contain multi-functional
ingredients to give preservation qualities. Methods of self-preservation
are discussed, including the use of surface active membrane disruptors
and hurdle technology.
The preservative options for certified natural and organic cosmetics are
also covered. Details are given of permitted and prohibited preservative
materials for the leading natural & organic cosmetic standards. The
final part of the report gives profiles of companies supplying
alternative preservative systems.
