Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid - Geoguard 221

Benzyl Alcohol and Dehydroacetic Acid are dual-action preservative ingredients widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. Benzyl Alcohol functions as both a preservative and mild antimicrobial agent, helping extend product shelf life while maintaining stability. Dehydroacetic Acid complements this by providing broad-spectrum preservation against bacteria and fungi, ensuring product integrity throughout use.

Together, these ingredients create a robust preservation system suitable for serums, creams, lotions, and other water-based or emulsified formulations. Ideal for formulators seeking effective, proven preservation without synthetic complexity.
