Lexgard® H is a versatile solvent that can also boost or aid the preservation of cosmetic formulations. Lexgard® H creates a biostatic environment that prevents growth of microorganisms. It is primarily effective against bacteria and can be combined with a yeast & mold control agent, like Spectrastat™ CHA (Caprylhydroxamic Acid) for broad spectrum protection. Lexgard® H is a multi-functional ingredient: moisturizer and solvent which can be used in cosmetic emulsion systems such as skin care creams and lotions or in surfactant based products such as shower gels, facial cleansers, and shampoos. It is recommended that Lexgard® H be used at concentrations of 1.0 - 3.0% w/w. When used in emulsions, it is recommended that it be incorporated into the water phase. Lexgard® H is also soluble in oils and may be used in anhydrous formulas. Lexgard® H (1,2-Hexanediol) is listed in the China FDA IECIC inventory.
