Verstatil BL non GMO the new easy-to-use preservative blend, combining the well known preservative sodium benzoate and the multifunctional skin conditioner sodium levulinate in a mild and safe preserving blend especially suited for surfactant and water-based products. The combination of organic acid salts at a use level between 1,5 – 2,5% provides a reliable performance against all relevant germs.
All components of Verstatil BL non GMO are approved for natural cosmetic by Ecocert, Cosmos and Natrue. Therefore this blend can be used as a cost effective preservative system for certified natural rinse-off formulations, tonics or wet wipe solutions.Verstatil BL non GMO as a liquid may be added to the formulation at any step of the process. Moreover, in contrast to sorbate/benzoate blends Verstatil BL non-GMO does not tend to alter the colour of surfactant based products. Verstatil BL non GMO is most effective at pH between 4,5 – 5,5, however, synergistic effects in combination with preserving boosters e.g. Glyceryl Caprylate have also been observed higher pH.
