SMA'RT Guard C-Silver provides a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective against skin bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. Its fast-killing activity makes SMA'RT Guard C-Silver an effective antimicrobial for personal care products. As a stand-alone preservative, it is used at 0.2 – 1.5% and can be combined with other preservatives if needed. SMA'RT Guard C-Silver will not migrate into the oil phase of emulsions, thus maintaining strong efficacy against microorganisms in the water phase.
