Geogard Ultra™

INCI:Gluconolactone (and) Sodium Benzoate* 

*Also contains 1-2% Calcium Gluconate though this is not listed in the official INCI

A combination of a naturally occurring food additive glucono delta lactone (derived from corn) and a food-grade preservative sodium benzoate (the sodium salt of benzoic acid) along with a trace amount of calcium gluconate as a processing agent. This preservative is excellent for challenging formulations that tend to separate after time and are affected by chemical reactions. Because it is provided in powder form it will not jeopardise stability like most of the other natural or alternative preservatives.

Geogard Ultra™ is accepted by ECOCERT as a preservative in certified organic cosmetics.

Naturagard Ultra not only provides effective protection against product spoilage, but it can also increase the skin moisturising capacity of the formulation.
