KEM DIOL

KEM DIOL

Kem Diol is a liquid preservative system based on the widely accepted cosmetic preservative phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol, a multifunctional ingredient with humectant, wetting agent, viscosity regulator that acts as preservative booster.
This optimized combination provides broad spectrum protection against bacteria, yeasts and moulds to a variety of cosmetics without pH restrictions. Due to the increasing concerns with conventional preservatives in recent years, there is a growing need of alternative in cosmetic preservation. Kem Diol represents a versatile system without controversial ingredients, which meets the more stringent demands of today’s market for safety, efficacy and global approval.
Kem Diol is a broad spectrum preservative blend in which the antimicrobial activity of phenoxyethanol is enhanced by the boosting effect of caprylyl glycol. Caprylyl glycol is a C8 linear diol that increases the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol as promotes the penetration into the microbial cell and reduces the amount of preservative needed. The overall process destabilizes the cell membrane and destroys microorganisms. Therefore caprylyl glycol boosts the performance of phenoxyethanol and helps to decrease the amount of preservative needed improving the preservation safety.
