- Applications
Novapreserve P4 is a highly effective preservative blend consisting of Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl and Butyl esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid dissolved in 2-phenoxyethanol. This blend has both a low-toxicity profile and dis- plays very low irritation to the skin, eyes or mucous mebranes when used at recommended concentrations. These features make it an excellent choice for most types of rinse- off and leave-on personal care products. Some of applications include shampoo, hair conditioner, styling and bath gels, liquid soap, moisturizing cream, body cream and milks, mascara, suntan lotion, eyeliner, and lipstick.
