CAMPO PLANTSERVATIVE

Introduction

Plantservative is fully active liquid preservative isolated from herb, namely Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) and is suitable for the antimicrobial protection of cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

The following advantages of Plantservative are emphasized:

* Broad spectrum antimicrobial activities - Plantservative exhibits rapid, microbicidal activity against Gram -negative bacteria, as well as Gram Positive bacteria, yeasts, and molds.

Suitable concentrations (>2.5%) show rapid, bactericidal activity, even against such species as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to many synthetic preservatives and is a frequent contamination of preparations in the tropical and semi- tropical countries.

* Easy incorporation-being a liquid, miscible with many organic solvents, surfactants and emulsifiers. Plantservative is easily incorporated into the materials to be preserved.

* Good compatibility- Plantservative is chemically inert and therefore compatible with the majority or types of chemical compounds. At the correct concentrations, it maintains strong, extensive efficiency in the presence of such materials as proteins, gums, anionic and maintains its antimicrobial activities in acidic, neutral, and mildly alkaline pH conditions.

Plantservative does not cause any changes in color or odor to the final products, and this is very particularly important in cosmetic preparations.

Non- volatile-Plantservative is non- volatile and there should be no loss of preservative activities from the product, even after prolonged exposure to air or in storage.

High Stability-Plantservative remains fully stable over a wide permittance range of pH and temperature range. There is no significant degradation of Plantservative when strongly heated in the pH range 3-8. Aqueous solution of Plantservative will without detriment to the preservation activities.

* Low toxicity-a comprehensive toxicological data on plantservative has been shown to be that this plant extract with preservative activities has low toxicity, (oral LD50 for rats is 1.55ml/kg of body weight) being totally non-irritant to skin, eye, and mucous membranes at suggested concentrations. Plantservative has been shown to be devoid of skin sensitizing effects.

* Fully biodegradable at the extremely dilute conditions as found in the effluents, Plantservative is biodegradable and thus presents no pollution hazard.

* Other advantages-Plantservatives has perfume fixative properties and thus increases the "increase in the retention time of volatile perfumes in end products". This natural preservative does not contain formaldehyde and is not a formaldehyde-donor.
