Geogard ECT is a broad-spectrum preservative used in cosmetic and personal care products to prevent the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of the products. It is a natural, eco-friendly preservative system that is compliant with various organic and natural product standards.

Geogard ECT is a trade name for a preservative blend that typically consists of benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, glycerin, and sorbic acid. These ingredients work synergistically to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold in cosmetic formulations.

.

Here are some key features and benefits of Geogard ECT:

Broad Spectrum: Geogard ECT offers broad-spectrum protection against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. This helps to prevent spoilage, contamination, and the potential for microbial growth in cosmetic products.

Natural and Eco-friendly: Geogard ECT is derived from renewable plant-based sources and is considered a more natural alternative to synthetic preservatives. It is often used in formulations that aim to meet natural or organic product standards.

Stability and Compatibility: Geogard ECT is known for its stability and compatibility with a variety of cosmetic ingredients, including emulsifiers, surfactants, oils, and botanical extracts. It is compatible with a wide range of pH levels and does not typically affect the sensory attributes or performance of the final product.

Preservative Efficacy: When used at appropriate concentrations, Geogard ECT has been shown to effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms, helping to maintain the quality and safety of cosmetic products over time.

Regulatory Approval: Geogard ECT is approved for use in cosmetics and personal care products in many countries. However, it is important to check specific regulations and guidelines in your region to ensure compliance.

Recommended use level of 0.75-1.50% (restricted to 1% in the EU and Japan), performs best in pH of 6.0, but also proven effective at pH levels up to 10 (ideal pH 4-10). Can be added directly to the formulation during pre- or post-emulsification at or below 60°C/140°F.

It's worth noting that while Geogard ECT is considered a milder and more natural preservative option, some individuals may still have sensitivities or allergies to certain components of the blend, such as benzyl alcohol. It is always recommended to perform proper testing and evaluation when formulating products and to follow the usage guidelines provided by the manufacturer

Country of Origin USA

Raw Material Source Phenol, acetaldehyde

Manufacture Phenoxyethanol is produced by the hydroxyethylation of phenol in the presence of alkali-metal hydroxides or alkali-metal borohydrides. Sorbic acid is produced synthetically by aldol condensation of acetaldehyde to form crotonaldehyde which is then reacted with ketene to form sorbic acid
