For the Cosmetic, Household Products and Pharmaceutical Industries
Effective preservation is an absolute necessity for personal care products, but it is a challenge to meet all the expectations of a modern consumer. Green, natural, sustainable ingredients are increasingly required, and the formulator needs an understanding of the underlying science and an up-to-date toolbox where novel synergistic solutions are available.

In this 90 minute accredited training course participants will learn the mechanism of how traditional preservatives work and the requirements for a good preservative. They will explore the criticism of many traditional preservatives. They will survey the global regulatory and certification landscape. New preservatives, the use of glycols, essential oils, and novel synergistic mixtures will be examined. Green chelates will be added to the formulator’s toolbox. New concepts such as water activity and hurdle technology will be introduced.
