Dissolvine® GL-47-S Improves The Performance Of Personal Care Preservatives

Going green? Don’t forget your chelate!

Derived from corn, Dissolvine® GL-47-S is the natural choice to enhance the performance of those halogen-free, formaldehyde-free, and paraben-free preservative systems available to the chemist who is formulating “green.”

Dissolvine® GL-47-S has no biocidal properties by itself, but when formulated properly can improve the kill time of your preservative of choice, particularly pseudomonas aeruginosa, aspergillus niger, and staphylococcus aureus.

The results of experiments measuring the influence of Dissolvine® GL on a variety of preservatives against pseudomonas aeruginosa, aspergillus niger, and staphylococcus aureus are summarized in this technical brochure.

Dissolvine® GL products are fully compliant with the European Cosmetics Directive and its amendments and adaptations (latest update April 16, 2009) including the 7th amendment.

Dissolvine® GL-47-S is an innovative and sustainable ingredient that contributes functional, economic, and ecological value.
