New Data for Sensiva SC 50

New white paper on Schülke's multifunctional additive that improves moisturization of skin.

schülke has issued a new white paper on sensiva SC 50 (ethylhexylglycerin), a multifunctional additive, combining antimicrobial boosting with additional functions:

  • In-vitro tests show a selective activity on odor-causing Gram-positive bacteria. sensiva SC 50 can be used as a deodorant active. It has minimal effect on the microbiome as compared to triclosan, which indiscriminately eliminated all microorganisms.
  • Studies combining sensiva SC 50 with alcohols and glycols prove a true synergy, boosting preservative and antimicrobial efficacy in finished formulations.
  • As a medium-spreading emollient, ethylhexylglycerin is able to improve the skin-feel of personal care formulations. sensiva SC 50 in combination with glycerin can produce a formulation that feels less tacky and greasy, with improved penetration and lower soaping.
 
With increasing use of hand sanitizers, the prevalence of dry, irritated hands is a real issue. sensiva SC 50 not only boosts the antimicrobial efficacy, it also helps to improve the moisturization of the skin after use.
