Status of Cosmetic Preservation Launches of skin care formulations containing parabens

SOURCE: MINTEL

⇒ phase out of parabens continues after stalling in 2013

5

Status of Cosmetic Preservation Launched skin care formulations claiming “free from parabens”

SOURCE: MINTEL

⇒ paraben-free claim still attractive

6

Status of Cosmetic Preservation Summary

Parabens under pressure

phase-out of parabens continues

“free from parabens” claim increasingly popular

Standard paraben alternatives

formaldehyde donors not preferred (banned in Japan)

isothiazolinones heavily restricted

⇒ strong need for new alternatives

Innovative Paraben Alternatives 1. Paraben free: blend composition

Typical approach: phenoxyethanol + organic acids

organic acids cover weakness of phenoxyethanol vs. bacteria

organic acids require acidic environment

Solution: replacement of organic acids by triethylene glycol

good synergistic effect

suitable also for alkaline formulations up to pH 10

brand name: Solbrol® TP (INCI: Phenoxyethanol, Triethylene Glycol)

Innovative Paraben Alternatives 2. Preservative free: blend composition

Typical approach: caprylyl glycol

free from preservatives

weakness in particular against bacteria

difficult to handle due to high viscosity

Solution: combination with phenethyl alcohol

well balanced preservation effect

suitable also for alkaline formulations up to pH 10

brand name: Solbrol® CP (INCI: Caprylyl Glycol, Phenethyl Alcohol)
