Looking for a preservation booster that can out-perform ethylhexylglycerin? How about a natural, biodegradable, MIT-free transparent one?

Veslan CGE (INCI Name: Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether) can be included in a wide range of personal care formulations, and provides great credentials for markets who demand natural, sustainable ingredients.

Velsan CGE enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of typically used preservatives, enabling formulators to use lower concentrations of the preservatives in cosmetic formulations.
