Optiphen Plus

Optiphen Plus (Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Sorbic Acid) is a cutting-edge liquid preservative formulation designed for those seeking paraben- and formaldehyde-free options in personal care products. This innovative blend is particularly effective in slightly acidic formulations with a pH below 6.0, providing broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold, while simultaneously imparting emollient properties to the skin. 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.
