DESCRIPTION

Germall Plus: liquid preservative against bacteria, mold and yeast. Used in creams, lotions, shampoo and gels.

Description

Germall Plus is a patented preservative combination with the following composition:

Properties
  • Broad-spectrum preservative activity: prevents the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mold and yeast, as well as many common microorganisms. Requires no additional preservatives.
  • Synergistic preservative effect: the activity of the combined components is greater than the sum of each one separately. As a result, only a small amount of preservative is needed to achieve a broad spectrum of action.
  • Compatible with cosmetic ingredients: compatible with virtually all raw materials used in personal care formulations, including proteins, vitamins, botanical extracts, surfactants and other complex ingredients. No known inactivators.
  • Excellent toxicological profile: based on studies of the individual preservatives and of the blend, it is considered safe for both leave-on and rinse-off personal care products.
Practical formulation guide
Dose: Effective at low use levels: Use levels for preserving personal care formulations are 0.1–0.5 %. In products containing complex ingredients such as proteins or extracts, 0.5 % is recommended. Up to 1.25 % is permitted in both rinse-off and leave-on products.
How to use and incorporate: Add according to its maximum temperature, usually during cool-down (below 40–45 °C/104–113 °F), dissolved or premixed in the phase indicated by the data sheet. Check that the final pH of the formula is within its effective range.
Formulation guide: Can be added to the water phase or to the emulsified portion of the formulation. Must be added at 50 °C/122 °F or below. Adding it at a higher temperature can damage the preservative system. Germall Plus is most effective in the pH range of 3 to 8.
  • Preservation depends on the whole formula: validate the system with a microbial challenge test.
  • Organic acids (benzoic, sorbic, dehydroacetic) are only effective at acidic pH (approximately ≤ 5.5). Extracts, hydrosols, proteins and starches increase the demand for preservative.
  • Follow good manufacturing practices: purified water, sanitized utensils and clean packaging.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with nonionic surfactants, proteins and some polymers, which may reduce its effectiveness.
Storage: Storage Keep tightly closed in a cold, dry place protected from light.
Precautions: Respect the maximum permitted concentration. Wear gloves and safety glasses; avoid contact with eyes and skin in concentrated form. See the Safety Data Sheet.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
