Product Protection for Consumer Care
In the personal care industry, product protection is essential for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and longevity of formulations. Product protection refers to the use of ingredients that prevent microbial growth, oxidation, and other forms of degradation that can compromise the quality and shelf life of cosmetics, skincare, and hair care products. Effective product protection helps maintain the product's stability and performance, ensuring it remains safe for consumer use throughout its intended life cycle.
Our portfolio includes natural multifunctional preservatives that provide clean-label alternatives, innovative approaches to alternative preservation, potent antioxidants to combat oxidation, and chelating agents that stabilize formulations by binding metal ions. These solutions are designed to align with modern consumer demands for sustainability and performance, offering reliable protection while supporting eco-conscious and natural formulations.
At Andicor, we offer a wide range of product protection solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of the personal care market.
PRESERVATIVES & PRODUCT PROTECTION
By leveraging innovative preservation methods and protective ingredients, formulators can create stable, high-quality products that meet the demands of today’s eco-conscious and health-focused consumers. From extending shelf life to maintaining sensory appeal, our solutions are designed to support both functionality and sustainability.
Natural Multifunctional Preservatives
Natural multifunctional preservatives provide a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic options, aligning with the growing demand for clean beauty. These preservatives are gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation or sensitivity, making them suitable for even the most delicate skin types, including those with conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
In addition to their skin-friendly properties, natural preservatives meet the eco-conscious preferences of today’s consumers. Sustainably sourced from nature, they offer excellent skin tolerance while providing additional functionality, such as conditioning or anti-inflammation benefits. Compliant with various ecolabels, these versatile solutions support a wide range of formulations, helping brands create high-performing, environmentally responsible products.

Alternative Preservation
Alternative preservation solutions provide a cost-effective and versatile approach to maintaining product stability without relying on traditional preservatives. These often nature-identical offerings are designed for cost-sensitive formulations, delivering reliable protection while remaining free from controversial INCIs.
Beyond preservation, these ingredients offer multifunctional benefits, such as conditioning properties, enhancing both performance and value. By addressing modern consumer demands for cleaner, safer formulations, alternative preservation solutions enable brands to create high-quality products that balance efficacy with sustainability.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants play a critical role in protecting oils from oxidative rancidity, which occurs when unsaturated fats react with oxygen. This reaction produces peroxides and harmful byproducts, leading to unpleasant odours and flavors. By slowing the oxidation process, antioxidants extend the shelf life of oils and maintain product freshness for longer.
Our portfolio includes a range of tocopherols and advanced rosemary-based technologies. These compounds effectively neutralize free radicals by donating electrons, stabilizing them, and halting the chain reaction of oxidation. Additionally, we offer combination products that not only provide oil phase protection but also deliver antioxidant benefits for the skin, enhancing overall product performance.

Chelating
Chelating agents are essential for stabilizing cosmetic formulations by neutralizing reactive metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper. These metal ions can catalyze harmful reactions that lead to spoilage, discolouration, and reduced product effectiveness. By surrounding and deactivating these ions, chelating agents prevent metal-induced oxidation and ensure long-lasting product stability.
The benefits of chelating agents include improved preservative efficacy, prevention of rancidity and discolouration, and enhanced texture and shelf life of formulations. They also support eco-friendly products when natural chelators, like our plant-derived phytic acid, are used. This sustainable technology ensures formulations remain effective, high-quality, and aligned with modern environmental standards.
