Preservatives are an integral part of cosmetic formulations and to ensure consumer safety. They help prevent microbial contamination, not only to protect the freshness of your product, but also to keep consumers safe from harmful microorganisms.
In a world of changing consumer expectations, market trends, individual company policies, and updated regulations, formulators need to be creative and to use innovative antimicrobial ingredients and combinations to provide safe and effective products. Symrise offers a full range of unique molecules and synergistic combinations within the SymOcide portfolio to preserve cosmetic products.
Prioritising safety and efficacy through education
With the emerging popularity of the microbiome, microorganisms have gained a favourable reputation in modern culture. Consumers now understand that not all organisms are pathogens and some even support our health. However, formulators understand the detrimental effects microorganisms can have on cosmetics and personal care products.
At Symrise, we understand the balance that exists between consumer perception and the formulator’s reality. We aim to educate our customers on the safest, most efficacious options to protect their products.
