Barentz's Natural and Plant-Based Preservative Hebeatol Plus

Barentz presents a 'preservative-free' claim in your personal care formulations with its natural and plant-based preservative Hebeatol Plus. Our manufacturer Chemyunion designed Hebeatol Plus as a natural alternative to traditional antimicrobial components such as Triclosan and Farnesol. Hebeatol Plus is a xylitol ester possessing antimicrobial activity and deodorant function. This plant-derived component is obtained from Xylitol and Capric Acid. Xylitol is a pentose sugar whose primary industrial source is the reuse of grain by-products (namely corn cob); Capric Acid is derived from plant-based oils sustainably extracted and certified by RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). Beyond being sourced from renewable resources, Chemyunion emphasizes that Hebeatol Plus has been developed as a 100 percent biodegradable environmentally friendly molecule. Hebeatol Plus helps protect formulations when used in all personal care products, both rinse-off and leave-on. Since it is suitable for oral microbiota use, it can be safely used in oral care formulations. Beyond preservative efficacy, Hebeatol Plus eliminates 99.9 percent of microorganisms causing malodor and foot fungus. The nonionic surfactant molecule reduces surface tension of liquids and increases solubility of materials. Thus it reduces the adhesion of microorganisms to skin.

Or you can test its antimicrobial efficacy by using Hebeatol Plus as an antimicrobial agent.
