At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we supply a broad selection of high-performance preservatives designed to protect personal care, cosmetic, and industrial formulations from microbial contamination. Preservatives are critical in extending product shelf life, ensuring safety, and maintaining quality by preventing the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold.
Our range is formulated for compatibility with a variety of systems, including water-based, oil-based, and emulsified products. We provide both synthetic and naturally derived options, meeting global regulatory standardsfor safe and effective preservation.
Preservatives are active ingredients that inhibit or destroy microorganisms in products, preventing spoilage and ensuring consumer safety. Without proper preservation, skincare and cosmetic products can deteriorate rapidly, leading to changes in texture, smell, color, and potentially causing skin irritation or infections.
At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we offer preservatives that:
Ensure microbial safety throughout shelf life
Work across a broad pH range
Perform in both rinse-off and leave-on applications
Comply with global cosmetic regulations
Types of Preservatives We Offer
1. DMDM Hydantoin
A formaldehyde-releasing preservative that provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. Commonly used in shampoos, conditioners, and lotions, it effectively prevents bacterial and fungal growth over an extended period.
2. Ethylhexylglycerin
A multifunctional ingredient acting as both a mild preservative and skin-conditioning agent. Often used in combination with other preservatives to boost efficacy while reducing irritation potential. Suitable for sensitive skin products.
3. Methyl Paraben
A widely used paraben preservative effective against fungi and bacteria. Stable over a wide pH range and ideal for creams, lotions, and makeup. Recognized for its long history of safe use in cosmetics.
4. Propyl Paraben
Often used alongside methyl paraben to create a synergistic preservation system. Provides strong antifungal and antibacterial activity in lotions, hair care, and topical formulations.
5. Methyl Paraben Sodium
The sodium salt form of methyl paraben, offering enhanced water solubility for easy incorporation into water-based systems like toners, gels, and serums.
6. Propyl Paraben Sodium
A water-soluble variant of propyl paraben, ideal for formulations requiring clear, stable solutions. Delivers the same broad-spectrum protection as the standard form.
7. Phenoxyethanol
A globally accepted, paraben-free preservative effective against bacteria, yeast, and mold. Stable in a broad pH range and compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. Common in lotions, sunscreens, and baby care products.
8. Phenonip
A blended preservative system combining phenoxyethanol and parabens for wide-spectrum antimicrobial coverage. Suitable for oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, as well as anhydrous products.
9. Glycacil L (Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate)
A highly effective preservative against mold and fungi, even at very low concentrations. Ideal for leave-on skin care, hair products, and emulsions where fungal protection is essential.
10. Formalin
A concentrated formaldehyde solution with strong antimicrobial activity. Used in industrial and certain cosmetic applications for its potent, long-lasting preservation capabilities. Requires controlled use to meet safety guidelines.
