Naturagard Ultra, is new product that meets the growing demand for alternative self preserving cosmetic preservatives. With growing concerns over traditional preservatives such as parabens, Naturagard Ultra™ provides a single solution to companies seeking alternatives to traditional preservatives. Geogard® Ultra’s global regulatory acceptance, broad-spectrum activity and multi-functionality means it can be utilized in a wide variety of cosmetic products like shampoos, lotions and skin creams. Unlike traditional cosmetic preservatives, Geogard® Ultra can be used in cosmetic products that are marketed in major markets around the world: Europe, Japan, North America and South America.

Naturagard Ultra helps prevent product spoilage by utilizing less aggressive: “Hurdle Technology.” Instead of a harsh, aggressive approach with bacteria and fungi, Naturagard Ultra primarily functions by creating a more hostile environment within the formulation for microbes to overcome. Potentiators within Naturagard Ultra help create such hurdles, increasing the self-preserving environment of formulations.

Naturagard Ultra also provides greater utility with its multifunctional action. Naturagard Ultra not only provides effective protection against product spoilage, but it can also increase the skin moisturizing capacity of the formulation.

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

This is a natural preservative that is a combination of a naturally occuring 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 jeopardize stability like most of the other natural or alternative preservatives.
