In addition to our current line of body washes, lotions and cream bases we have added paraben free choices.
The preservative we use instead of parabens and urea is Suttocide A.
Read further to find out about SUTTOCIDE® A.
Suttocide A is sold as a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxymethylglycinate. The solution is a clear alkaline liquid with a mild characteristic odor. This single preservative is a broad spectrum antimicrobial that is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeast and mold, even at low concentrations, providing cost-effective preservation.
Suttocide A remains active at a pH as high as 12, and can be used in acidic conditions as low as pH 3.5, giving the formulator very broad flexibility as well as allowing adequate preservation of alkaline products. Suttocide A can also be used to neutralize acidic compounds, without any loss of antimicrobial activity.
