Ideal for a diverse range of applications, including high-quality creams, emulsions, lotions, and gels, Optiphen Plus ensures stability and safety in aqueous and emulsion-type cosmetics. Its compatibility with various raw materials and effectiveness as a stand-alone preservative—or when paired with other preservatives—makes it a versatile choice for formulators, ensuring that beauty products remain safe and effective without compromising ingredient integrity. Developed by Ashland Chemical, Optiphen Plus represents a reliable solution for modern skincare needs.
