In recent years, the safety of traditional preservatives has been called into question. Therefore, there is a need for alternatives that are effective, safe and sustainable—and that are non-controversial. In response, the present work investigates a mixture of caprylyl glycol and phenethyl alcohol, which is shown to provide antimicrobial activity in various skin and hair care formulations.

A new alternative to cosmetics preservation and the effect of the particle size of the emulsion droplets on preservation efficacy
TLDR
A new alternative combination preservative containing caprylyl glycol, phenethyl alcohol and glyceryl caprylate is described and the effects of the particle size of the emulsion droplet on the anti‐microbial activity of the said blend in the formulation are investigated. Expand
Dualistic Properties of Cosmetic Formulations Based on Phenylpropanoids from Ajuga reptans
Our continued interest in the research and development of cosmetic active ingredients deriving from natural sources led us to investigate the potential of a purified extract of Ajuga reptans, a plant… Expand
"Smart" polymer enhances the efficacy of topical antimicrobial agents.
TLDR
In vitro and ex vivo antimicrobial efficacy studies show that FTP-AgSD films are significantly more effective for longer durations against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa when compared to the cream formulations containing antimicrobials. Expand
Conformational preferences and antimicrobial activities of alkanediols
Abstract Diols with short aliphatic chains were known to exhibit antimicrobial activities, which were found to depend on the chain length and the position of the hydroxyl groups. We carried out the… Expand
Evaluation of a Microbial Sensor as a Tool for Antimicrobial Activity Test of Cosmetic Preservatives.
TLDR
The sensor system presented in this study could be useful in large-scale screening experiments and showed positive correlation to the concentrations of two commercially used preservatives, chlorphenesin and 2-phenoxyethanol, indicating the feasibility in practical use. Expand
Understanding the differential depression of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate on the separation of specularite and chlorite: Experimental and DFT study
Abstract In this paper, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate (TGD) was applied as a depressant for cationic direct flotation separation of specularite and chlorite. The depression performance of TGD was… Expand

Safety of a preservative system containing 1,2-hexanediol and caprylyl glycol
TLDR
To study the potential for delayed Type IV dermal sensitivity of a new preservative system containing 1,2-hexanediol and caprylyl glycol, 200-subject repeat insult patch tests were performed with a 15% mixture in carbomer gel and a cosmetic formulation at an actual use concentration. Expand

The preservation of ophthalmic solutions with antibacterial combinations
TLDR
Results show that the latex lo00 g organelles of poppy latex contain catechol oxidase and also give evidence of both tyrosinase and laccase activities, and indicates compartmentalization within the organelle. Expand
1,2-Octanediol, a Novel Surfactant, for Treating Head Louse Infestation: Identification of Activity, Formulation, and Randomised, Controlled Trials
TLDR
1,2-octanediol was found to eliminate head louse infestation and is believed to disrupt the insect's cuticular lipid, resulting in dehydration. Expand

Aromatic alcohols and their effect on Gram-negative bacteria, cocci and mycobacteria.
TLDR
It is reported that PEA was only slightly less inhibitory to Staphylococcus aureus than Escherichia coli, and that the MIC for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 0.46% (4600 mg/L). Expand
Composition and functional properties of the essential oil of amazonian basil, Ocimum micranthum Willd., Labiatae in comparison with commercial essential oils.
TLDR
Labiatae essential oil showed a dose-dependent antifungal activity against pathogenic and food spoiling yeasts and a remarkable antioxidant capacity comparable to that of Trolox and vitamin E, and higher than the other essential oils. Expand
Mechanism of action of phenethyl alcohol: breakdown of the cellular permeability barrier.
TLDR
It is proposed that the primary effect of PEA is a limited breakdown of the cell membrane, and the inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and other cellular functions would be secondary consequences of the alteration in the membrane structure. Expand
In Vitro Inactivation of Chlamydia trachomatis by Fatty Acids and Monoglycerides
TLDR
The rapid inactivation of large numbers of C. trachomatis organisms by monocaprin suggests that it may be useful as a microbicidal agent for the prevention of the sexual transmission ofC. Expand
