BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol – Multifunctional ingredient with preservative properties
BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol is based on the chemical compound 1,2-Pentanediol, a member of the alkanediols, which occurs in two isomeric forms. This structure gives Pentylene Glycol its exceptional properties, making it an indispensable ingredient in modern skincare. In addition to its function as a moisturizer and active ingredient enhancer, it demonstrates a proven preservative effect at a concentration of 5 %.
Preservative effect from 5 %
1,2-Pentanediol, the chemical basis of Pentylene Glycol, shows a strong antimicrobial effect at a usage concentration of 5 %. This effect effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, thereby stabilizing cosmetic formulations and protecting them from microbial contamination. This makes BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol an excellent alternative or complement to conventional preservatives.
The antimicrobial efficacy of this compound helps to extend the shelf life of cosmetic products without resorting to aggressive synthetic preservatives. At the same time, skin compatibility is maintained, making BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol suitable for sensitive skin types.
Additional benefits of the preserving effect
- Multifunctionality: In addition to its preserving effect, 1,2-Pentanediol supports moisture retention and enhances the penetration of other active ingredients into the skin.
- Compatibility: The chemical stability and versatility of the alkandiol structure allows for seamless integration into water- and oil-based formulations.
- Reduction of synthetic preservatives: The use of BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol at 5% reduces the need for parabens or other synthetic preservatives.
Recommended Application
BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol can be used at a concentration of 5–10 % to optimally utilize its preserving, moisturizing, and stabilizing properties. It is ideally suited for a variety of formulations, including creams, gels, serums, and masks. Combine it with ingredients such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid to maximize synergies in skincare.
Clinical Studies and Efficacy
Studies have shown that 1,2-Pentanediol in its isomeric form as BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol has a reliable and stable antimicrobial effect without irritating the skin. It effectively protects both water-based and emulsified formulations from contamination and extends shelf life.Source: International Journal of Cosmetic Science
Conclusion: BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol – A solution for multifunctional skincare
With the chemical basis of 1,2-Pentanediol, BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol offers a unique combination of moisturization, active ingredient enhancement, and preservative properties. At a concentration of 5%, it is a safe, effective, and skin-friendly solution for stable and innovative cosmetic products. Rely on BIOLISSE® Pentylene Glycol to add a modern and multifunctional component to your formulations. Sources: Cosmetic Formulation Innovations, Organic Skincare Research
