International Specialty Products (ISP), a world-leading supplier of specialty ingredients for the cosmetics industry and a leader in preservative technology, launched OptiPhen™, a unique preservative for personal care products, at In-Cosmetics exhibition, Milan, April 27-29, 2004.

OptiPhen is an exciting new paraben- and formaldehyde-free preservative liquid blend featuring phenoxyethanol as the primary active ingredient in an emollient base. Easily added directly to a formulation either during pre- or post-emulsification at or below 80°C, OptiPhen provides effective protection from bacteria and yeast in a broad range of skin care and hair care applications. These include creams and lotions, body butters and sunscreens, as well as shampoos, styling gels and formulations containing silicones.

The latest addition to ISP’s comprehensive portfolio of preservative systems, OptiPhen has an excellent low toxicity profile, is non-sensitizing, compatible with most cosmetic ingredients and provides highly effective anti-microbial protection. Moreover, there are no pH restrictions in formulating with OptiPhen, it is not inactivated by any ingredients or raw materials used in the personal care industry and it can be used alone or in combination with other preservatives.
