Hauppauge, New York…Bio-Botanica®, a leading manufacturer and supplier of botanical extracts to the cosmetic and personal care industries since 1972, is pleased to introduce Biopein®, an all-natural preservative and stabilizing ingredient for natural cosmetic applications. Biopein®, a proprietary blend of botanical extracts, has been shown* to possess both anti-microbial and stabilizing properties, making it an ideal choice when looking for an alternative to synthetic preservatives; Patent-pending.
Biopein® features a synergistic combination of botanical extracts that, when combined at proprietary levels, yields a natural preservative (Biopein®) with potent organism-inhibiting properties. Biopein’s anti-microbial activity was tested against an array of microorganisms with different spectral susceptibilities. The organisms included gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginose, acid-fast bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis and the yeast Candida albicans. For comparison, the following well-known synthetic preservatives were used: Phenoxyethanol, Phenylethyl alcohol and a combination of Methyl/Propylparabens in ratio 5:4. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, or MIC, (the lowest concentration capable of inhibiting the growth of the above-mentioned organisms) was determined for each agent.
Biopein® at a level of 0.15% - 0.3%
had the lowest MIC, demonstrating
its activity as a potent inhibitorof
various microorganisms!
Biopein®, a patent-pending natural preservative exclusively from Bio-Botanica is manufactured in the company’s FDA registered, pharmaceutically licensed facility, which is in full cGMP, SOP and GLP compliance. Custom formulation support is also available.
