For further information please contact the Product Manager.

Contrary to organic salt preservatives which require a low pH for optimum action, Elixi-CARE PEA is pH independent. It is efficient in a broad pH range. For this reason, it can be used in all kinds of products for cosmetic and perfumery, as a deodorant active and for alternative preservation. Recommended concentration is in the range between 0.5 – 1.5 %. Please note that above 1% the rose scent will be noticeable.

Dosage level

Recommended use concentration: 0.5 – 1.5 % (as preservative booster)

Elixi-CARE PEA can be used in association with other preservative boosters such as Elixi-CARE PDO or with classic preservatives such as Phenoxyethanol and o-Cymen-5-ol to improve preservative systems.
