About
An antimicrobial salt combining lauric arginate with acetylphenoxide as a dual-action preservative system for cosmetics; regulated as a preservative in the EU.
Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate Acetylphenoxide is a complex salt formed from Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate and Acetylphenoxide (a phenoxyethanol derivative). Both components have independent preservative/anti-microbial activity, creating a synergistic system. Acetylphenoxide is listed on EU CosIng and is subject to general cosmetic safety evaluation. The combination is not specifically restricted under Annex II or III, but must comply with general preservative regulations and the Acetylphenoxide specific assessment.
