Iscaguard PFA is particularly suitable for emulsions, oil and surfactant based formulations. It is advisable to pre-dissolve the product in a non-aqueous component prior to the addition of water (Iscaguard PFA shows good solubility in alcohols, glycols and mineral oils). Iscaguard PFA can be incorporated into a formulation at temperatures up to 80°C, though prolonged heating is not recommended.
ISCAGUARD PFA is a multifunctional preservative-free preservation system used in cosmetics to help protect formulations from microbial contamination while supporting “paraben-free” and “preservative-free” marketing claims. It is composed of Phenethyl Alcohol and Caprylyl Glycol.
Main Uses in Cosmetics
✅ Microbial protection
Helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold in water-containing formulations.
Often used as a preservative booster or self-preserving system.
✅ Moisturizing effect
Caprylyl Glycol acts as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent.
Improves skin feel and moisturization.
✅ Improved sensory properties
Phenethyl Alcohol provides a mild floral scent and pleasant skin feel.
