Status of Cosmetic Preservation Bild/Grafik Größe: Preservation Market Trends paraben-free formulations paraben-free claims standard alternatives Höhe = 13,06 cm Breite = 10,89 cm 3
Status of Cosmetic Preservation Launches of skin care formulations containing parabens SOURCE: MINTEL phase out of parabens continues after stalling in 2013 4
Status of Cosmetic Preservation Launched skin care formulations claiming free from parabens SOURCE: MINTEL paraben-free claim still attractive 5
Status of Cosmetic Preservation Summary Parabens under pressure phase-out of parabens continues free from parabens claim increasingly popular Standard paraben alternatives formaldehyde donors not preferred (banned in Japan) isothiazolinones heavily restricted strong need for new alternatives 6

Innovative Paraben Alternatives 1. Paraben free: blend composition Typical approach: phenoxyethanol + organic acids organic acids cover weakness of phenoxyethanol vs. bacteria organic acids require acidic environment Solution: replacement of organic acids by triethylene glycol good synergistic effect suitable also for alkaline formulations up to ph 10 brand name: Solbrol TP (INCI: Phenoxyethanol, Triethylene Glycol) 8
Innovative Paraben Alternatives 1. Paraben free: MIC data 1.2 1 0.8 Phenoxyethanol Solbrol TP 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 P. aeruginosa S. aureus C. albicans A. niger Solbrol TP shows good performance against bacteria and fungi Solbrol TP is suitable for both acidic and alkaline environments 9
Innovative Paraben Alternatives 2. Preservative free: blend composition Typical approach: caprylyl glycol free from preservatives weakness in particular against bacteria difficult to handle due to high viscosity Solution: combination with phenethyl alcohol well balanced preservation effect suitable also for alkaline formulations up to ph 10 brand name: Solbrol CP (INCI: Caprylyl Glycol, Phenethyl Alcohol) 10
Innovative Paraben Alternatives 2. Preservative free: MIC data 1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Caprylyl Glycol Solbrol CP P. aeruginosa S. aureus C. albicans A. niger Solbrol CP is very effective also against bacteria Solbrol CP is suitable for both acidic and alkaline environments 11
Innovative Paraben Alternatives 3. Renewable: blend composition Natural extracts: e.g. Bark extract from the white willow tree in propanediol free from preservatives ECOCERT certified suitable for alkaline formulations up to ph 8 brand name: Solbrol SP INCI: Propanediol, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract 12
