sensiva® PA 20 – nature-identical antimicrobial stabilsier
 |
|
"Nature-identical" materials offer a way to harness the best of nature without relying on Mother Nature, they are synthetic versions of the same chemistries found in nature. Because they are synthetic, they can be reliably replicated from batch-to-batch.
sensiva® PA 20 is based on "nature-identical" phenethyl alcohol which occurs widely in nature and can be found in many essential oils. It has properties that make it an excellent choice to help maintain the microbiological stability of personal care formulas. This activity is boosted in sensiva® PA 20 by pairing phenethyl alcohol with ethylhexylglycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin is similar to a class of chemicals that occur naturally in the liver of certain sea creatures.
