Ingredients For Haircare Manufacturers

Preservation for surfactant systems and moisture for conditioners. Shampoo and conditioner bases combine high surfactant loads with constant water activity, the two conditions under which weak preservative systems collapse first. 1,2-Hexanediol at 1.5 to 2 percent adds moisture and antimicrobial protection, while phenoxyethanol carries the broad-spectrum load.
