Spectrastat™ OL
Spectrastat™ OL is a complete system for self-preserving cosmetic and personal care products. It is especially useful in cold-process applications, including wet wipes. It is completely liquid, homogeneous, and pumpable even at low temperatures. Spectrastat™ OL contains no biocides or traditional preservatives. Instead it uses multifunctional agents that have excellent efficacy as biostatic and fungistatic agents. Spectrastat™ OL is ideal for personal care products as an alternative to parabens, phenoxyethanol, MIT or other preservatives that may be undesirable. Spectrastat™ OL is effective over a broad pH range from pH 4 - 8 with a typical use level of 1.0 - 2.0% (w/w). Spectrastat™ OL is ideal for wet wipes, baby wipes, toddler wipes, and cleansing wipes. It is also effective in typical personal care products such as creams, lotions, shower gels, and color cosmetics. It may be added to the water phase, at ambient or hot temperatures, or may be added post-emulsification of O/W emulsions.
