We're happy to offer Tristat NG, the next generation of oil soluble preservation.
Tristat NG is a advanced combination of nature identical Benzyl Alcohol (aromatic fatty alcohol produced naturally by plants and common in fruits, teas, and some essential oils) and vegetable derived fatty acids Glyceryl Monocaprylate and monoundecylenate which are fully oil soluble. Now every product you offer can be naturally preserved.
It is perfect for your preservative alternative cosmetics and anhydrous products. It is approved for inclusion in most natural standards including: EcoCert, Soil Association, BDIH, ICEA, COSMOS, NPA and NaTrue. VegeCide NG is a natural preservative crafted from high purity, renewable sources, of benzyl alcohol, caprylic, and undecylenic fatty acids. The fatty acids provide superior emolience, serve as a co emulsifier to stabilizes emulsions with the added benefit of re-fatting activity.
It is broad spectrum and is suitable for all of your manufacturing applications, even where water content is not minimal. However, it is still best to incorporate Hurdle technology (creating a non supportive environment for pathogens, i.e, low water (relates to activity not necessarily content), non-neutral pH <4 / >7, low sugar / protein) in water based systems. The inclusion of a good chelator is recommended in those circumstances. Try Sodium Phytate.
Another benefit is that with the fatty alcohol and mono-esters it is a superb re-fatting agent and specifically suited to any products intended to relieve skin irritated due to dryness. This is not what we would classify as an anti-irritant because it may not specifically help with other forms of inflammation. However, when the irritation is due to over dry skin, this is a great choice. Because it is made with fatty acids it also provides a smooth feel of both the product and the feel and spread on the skin.
It is also extremely easy to use. It may be incorporated into the oil or water phase, at any temperature. If this product is stored cool it may become a soft solid, you can re-liquefy by hot water bath or gentle, low, heat.
It is now easy to use and versatile. Being fully compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, it is fully effective in anionic, non-ionic, and cationic systems. Also synergistic with organic acids, chelating agents, anti-oxidants, essential and fragrance oils.
It is highly effective against acne (at only 0.1%) and is an excellent choice in anti-acne products as well as oily skin treatments.
It is approved for cosmetic use, at up to 2.2% in USA, EU, Brazil, and ASEAN countries.

GUIDELINES
APPLICATIONS
TIP: because this ingredient is a penetration enhancer, we recommend that it only be used with natural, skin safe, ingredients as it may enhance the penetration levels of other ingredients, as well. We do NOT advise the use of cosmetic chemicals that are approved for use only because they do not penetrate the skin when used in products.
Tristat ECO is a preservative alternative, not a regulated preservative. When used to preserve emulsions, or water based products, it is crucial that you employ Hurdle technology. It is also important, as always, that you run appropriate tests to determine efficacy in your application and to determine shelf life.
As with all preservation, the above posted usage suggestions are only general indications. The exact concentration is based on many factors including raw materials quality, manufacturing hygiene, formula composition and final packaging. The optimal amount of preservative must be determined through the testing of each new product.
