New Lower Pricing AND it's on sale!!

NataPres^TM is an all natural compound with effective preservative properties, based on the synergy exhibited by multiple plant extracts. It combines a radish root ferment filtrate with honeysuckle and aspen bark extracts and gluconolactone in a base of glycerin. 

NataPres^TM was developed for paraben-free and formaldehyde-free preservation with effectiveness in a broad pH range.  It is easy to use and will not impart any additional color or odors to your formulation.

NataPres^TMprovided predominantly a spectrum of activity again Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In formulations tested, it demonstrated activity against fungi and yeast when used at typical levels. However, additional protection against fungi and yeast may be necessary in some formulations. See the Technical Data for more information on Synergy Tests of  NataPres^TM together with other anti-fungal ingredients.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended use level for cosmetic formulations: 0.5 - 2.5%
• Potential anti-acne application at concentrations of 3.0% - 10.0% (based on MIC testing of p.acnes)
• Can be added directly to the formulation post-emulsification at or below 50°C (122°F)
• Effective in a broad pH range from 2 to 8
• Compatible with most ingredients used in the personal care and pharmaceutical industry
• Products which are highly prone to mold or yeast growth might need additional fungal protection

The choice of preservatives for personal care formulations should be carefully considered. This is especially true when using natural antimicrobials and or other “mild” antimicrobials.  We recommend that every formula undergo stability and microbial testing to ensure adequate preservation.
