MORE INFO
Iscaguard BSB is a blend of organic acids in benzyl alcohol. It is suitable for formulations with acidic pH, and offers protection against bacteria, yeasts, moulds and fungi. Iscaguard BSB is permitted for use with most Eco labels (such as Ecocert), and can be used for both leave-on and rinse-off products.
Iscaguard BSB is compatible with most personal care ingredients. In aqueous formulations, heating to 40°C may be required in order to fully dissolve
the preservative. However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures
should be avoided to help protect against discolouration. Iscaguard BSB
works effectively at pH values below 6.5, though for optimal efficacy we
recommend that the pH of the finished product is less than 6.
