DESCRIPTION

SymOcide® PO is a synergistic blend of phenoxyethanol and 1,2-octanediol, resulting in a broad-spectrum preservative free of parabens, isothiazolinones, formaldehyde releasers and organohalogens. It offers broad, highly efficient protection and works over a wide formulation pH range.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level:: *Emulsions: 0.8–1.1 % *Shampoos: 0.5–0.8 % combined with organic acids (e.g., sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate); in these combinations, a slightly acidic final product pH of 4.8–5.2 is recommended. *Maximum use level 1.4 %
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::
  • In emulsions, add SymOcide® PO after emulsification at
  • 40°C.
  • In shower gel and shampoo, add it before adjusting pH and viscosity.
  • In aqueous systems, add under stirring for faster incorporation. If the mixture is not completely clear, use a solubilizer to obtain fully clear formulations.
  • 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 in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place protected from light. Stability: *Stable at pH 3–8. *Stable up to 80 °C/176 °F.
Precautions: Precautions: None in particular; do not ingest.
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.
