Crush your preservative challenges with Ashland's Phyteq raspberry
The globally approved, biodegradable, multifunctional additive is based on a compound occurring in different plants
Phyteq raspberry multifunctional is based on raspberry ketone, a compound occurring in different plants and one that has been used for decades in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
As a globally approved and readily biodegradable multifunctional additive, it acts as preservative potentiator that protects a cosmetic product against spoilage.
Its additional skin benefits make it an excellent choice for skin care products. It acts as strong antioxidant and free radical scavenger and helps to protect the elasticity of the skin.
Phyteq raspberry is available in two variations, Phyteq raspberry N (natural) and Phyteq raspberry I (nature-identical).
“Phyteq raspberry multifunctional furthers Ashland’s innovations for plant-inspired clean beauty,” says Andrea Wingenfeld, global marketing manager, Ashland.
“The product will be popular in formulations because end consumers increasingly evaluate labels that include products inspired by nature. Being readily biodegradable and globally compliant, this ingredient builds on the already well-known health benefits of raspberry.”
