COSMETIC PRESERVATIVES

Your natural choicein cosmetic preservation Preserving the tradition

The Natural Choice in PreservationOur preservatives are formulated to offer broad spectrum protection

using optimised and innovative synergistic blends as well as offering

single actives with environmental responsibility and sustainable

development at the forefront of the company’s philosophy.

Today, perhaps more than ever before, the safety

of the consumer is the most important concern

when developing personal care products.

For this reason alone it is essential that cosmetics

and toiletries are protected from the unsightly and

potentially hazardous effects of microbial spoilage.

ISCA UK is continually improving its services

by way of award winning and eco-certified

formulations to ensure protection for

products and people.

What we offer:

• Expert Support Service

• Formulatory Advice

• Partnership Approach

• Microbiological Testing Facility

Iscaguard Parabens and Liquid Paraben BlendsThe Iscaguard range includes high purity grades of methyl, ethyl, propyl,

and butyl parabens, as well as their sodium salts. With outstanding

efficacy, a long history of safe use, cost effectiveness and universal

compatibility, parabens are an excellent choice of preservative for many

personal care formulations.

For ease of use, Isca also offers liquid paraben blends. These products

have been carefully designed to provide synergistic, broad spectrum

activity, while being easy to incorporate into finished products.

Iscaguard Paraben Free Liquid BlendsA diverse range of preservatives, offering formulators many

options for paraben free cosmetics.

Supplied as easy to use, readily dispersible liquids, including blends

that work across a wide range of pH and processing requirements,

there is a paraben free alternative for every formulation.

Iscaguard Multifunctional and Preservative FreeA range of additives that are considered either Natural, Renewable,

or Preservative Free, yet offer preservative boosting efficacy. Some

products are compliant with Ecocert and COSMOS standards.

Iscaguard Antibacterial additivesProducts designed and formulated to reduce the risk of bacterial

cross-contamination when added to formulations offering

infection control.
