Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hebeatol® PS VG and what is its value proposition in cosmetics?
Hebeatol® PS VG is an active ingredient and antimicrobial system resulting from the synergistic combination of functional xylitol esters and potassium sorbate. Developed to replace or reduce the use of controversial traditional preservatives, such as parabens, formaldehyde donors, and MIT, it provides microbiological preservation for skin care, sunscreen, and hair care products.
What is the complete chemical composition and INCI Name of the ingredient?
The product’s international nomenclature (INCI Name) is Xylitol (and) Caprylic Acid (and) Potassium Sorbate (and) Glycerin (and) Water.
It consists of a synergistic blend of functional xylitol esters, derived from a renewable plant source, combined with potassium sorbate in a water and glycerin matrix.
How is the synergistic action between xylitol esters and potassium sorbate demonstrated?
The combination maximizes antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria and fungi. In challenge tests conducted with a cold-process anionic polymeric emulsion, potassium sorbate used alone at the same concentration failed against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
In contrast, Hebeatol® PS VG at 1.5% successfully met the CTFA/PCPC, USP, and European Pharmacopoeia criteria, demonstrating the synergistic effect of the combination.
