Geogard® Ultra - ECOCERT Approved for use in ECOCERT certified organic products
Geogard Ultra, by Lonza, is a globally accepted preservative designed to meet the needs of companies seeking alternatives to traditional preservatives. Geogard Ultra helps prevent product spoilage by utilizing less aggressive “Hurdle Technology.” Instead of a harsh, aggressive approach with bacteria and fungi, Geogard Ultra primarily functions by creating a more hostile environment within the formulation for microbes to overcome. Potentiators within Geogard Ultra help create such hurdles, increasing the self-preserving environment of formulations.
Geogard Ultra also provides greater utility with its multifunctional action. Geogard Ultra not only provides effective protection against product spoilage, but it can also increase the skin moisturizing capacity of the formulation.
Derived from natural ingredients, Geogard Ultra is accepted by ECOCERT as a preservative in certified organic cosmetics. It consists of a unique blend of gluconolactone, sodium benzoate and calcium gluconate designed to offer broad spectrum protection in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
The gluconolatone component finds use in the food and cosmetic industry as a moisturizer, antioxidant and chelant. It is a gluten-free fermented food starch derived from non genetically-modified corn via a fermentation process with microorganisms that have not been genetically modified. The final product can be found in its natural state in bee's honey. Considered a next generation AHA, Gluconolactone is a Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is non-irritating and antioxidant. According to Lonza, gluconolactone-containing formulations reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and smooth skin texture due to their ability to condition and hydrate the skin.
Sodium benzoate is a preservative with bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties under acidic conditions (below pH 7, but a pH of 6
