Benefits: SMA'RT Guard CG acts as a humectant, preservative and moisturizing giver. It is a semi-solid to solid white substance. It improves skin feel of cosmetic formulations owing to their moisturizing properties. In addition, it can be used either alone or in combination with other preservatives to combat microorganisms directly and thus reduce or eliminate body odor, acne or mycoses. It is applicable in skin care products, deodorants and moisturizing formulations.
