Neolone BioG Preservative for sustainable skin- and hair care
Finding eco-friendly and effective preservatives remains one of the great challenges of the personal care industry. The Neolone BioG Preservative offers a solution based on the highly effective preservative ethyl lauroyl arginate HCl (LAE). LAE is derived from natural ingredients such as sugar beet and non-GMO corn and can be used for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetic products such as creams, face masks, cleansers, hair conditioners and wet wipes.
“Thanks to our microbiological knowhow and global network of R&D centers, we offer our customers safe, high-quality, effective and sustainable preservatives. We support our customers not only in finding the right dosages and possible preservation combinations, but also provide formulation guidance,” says Vivien Konetzky, Global Product Manager Home & Personal Care in the Material Protection Products (MPP) business unit at LANXESS.
