Overcoming the challenge
of preservatives

The protection from microorganisms is absolutely necessary to ensure consumer safety during the shelf life and use of a cosmetic product. But formulators have to take into account the growing consumer needs for sustainable ingredients as well as operate with the limited toolbox of preservatives available. This creates many challenges in preservation of cosmetic formulations today. In the webinar, Clariant shows solutions for these challenges and the latest additions to the Nipaguard® brand portfolio.
