Lexgard® GH70 Natural is a multifunctional ingredient that provides antimicrobial control in formulations. This innovative glyceryl ester is significantly more mild to skin than traditional preservation components making it well suited to sensitive skin, facial care, and baby care applications. Lexgard® GH70 Natural is ideal for personal care products as an alternative to parabens, formaldehyde donors, MIT, phenoxyethanol, and other traditional preservatives that may be undesirable. It is effective over a broad pH range from pH 4 - 8 with a typical use level 1.0 – 1.5% (w/w) in emulsions, surfactant-based products, sunscreens, and wipes juice formulations. Lexgard® GH70 Natural contains 100% biobased content as certified by the USDA BioPreferred® Program.
