The combination of benzyl alcohol with organic acids in Euxyl® K 903 is an extremely effective preservative, yet gentle enough for eye-area products where the reduction of sting potential is important. Euxyl® K 903 is also an excellent choice for use in baby wipes and other products, where gentleness to the skin is required.
Suggested Use
Euxyl® K 903 is recommended for use in multiple personal care products including shower gels, shampoos, body washes, creams, lotions, and wet wipes. It is not suitable for anhydrous products. Due to the presence of the organic acids in the system, Euxyl® K 903 offers broad spectrum protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold and is effective in applications where the pH is not above 6.0.
Euxyl® K 903 contains:
Benzyl Alcohol 78.0 – 84.0%
Benzoic Acid 11.0 – 13.0%
Dehydroacetic Acid 6.5 – 7.5%
Warning
Euxyl® K 903 is classified as a “mild” preservative as formulated, the raw material should be handled with care as the full strength preservative causes severe eye irritation and may cause tissue damage.
