Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection with 100% Natural Spectrastat™ Technology

Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection with 100% Natural Spectrastat^™ Technology 

Product preservation has been profoundly impacted by the wellness movement and resulting consumer ingredient concerns. Today, consumer-accepted traditional preservation options are limited. In parallel, the global naturals movement continues to heighten consumer interest in biobased ingredients. Effective preservation is incredibly important in formulation and new innovations need to deliver broad spectrum antimicrobial control and originate from natural sources to truly meet consumer expectations. Spectrastat^™ technologies ease the burden in this challenging environment by delivering broad spectrum efficacy from consumer-friendly ingredients at an easy-to-formulate neutral pH.

 Spectrastat^™ alternative preservation solutions are optimized combinations of multifunctional ingredients that work together with smart formulation design and good manufacturing practices to deliver broad spectrum preservation effects. Spectrastat^™ G2 Natural MB (INCI: Caprylhydroxamic Acid (and) Glyceryl Caprylate (and) Glycerin) contains 100% USDA certified biobased content. The novel blend of Caprylhydroxamic Acid (Spectrastat^™ CHA), a chelating agent, with Glyceryl Caprylate, a skin conditioning agent, creates a ready-to-use combination that effectively controls bacteria, yeast, and mold over a broad pH range from pH 4–8. Spectrastat^™ PHL (INCI: Caprylhydroxamic Acid (and)1,2-Hexanediol (and) Propanediol) contains 66% USDA certified biobased content. The unique ingredient combination combines the chelating power of CHA with the solvency of 1,2-hexanediol, yielding a readily water soluble and cold processable alternative preservation solution that effectively controls bacteria, yeast, and mold.

 INOLEX’s portfolio of alternative preservation products includes Spectrastat^™ complete solutions and Lexgard^® components for creating your own unique system. Combining these ingredients with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and the Hurdle Technology approach provides antimicrobial control in a variety of personal care formulation types.
