The Power of Less: Streamlining Beauty with Multifunctional Preservatives

Innovating the Future of Preservation: Multifunctional Solutions from Seqens

Today’s beauty consumers are looking for more from their skincare and personal care products—they want fewer ingredients but expect those ingredients to deliver multiple benefits. This trend toward multifunctional end products is reshaping the way formulators approach product development. Multifunctional preservatives, like those in Seqens’ AdvensProtect range, are key tools for formulators looking to simplify ingredient lists while maximizing performance. By offering both preservation and additional benefits like moisturization, emulsion stabilization, and skin conditioning, Seqens’ multifunctional preservatives help create streamlined, high-performance products that meet modern consumer demands for cleaner, more efficient beauty solutions.

AdvensProtect 2-EHG & 2-EHG Plus: Preservation and Moisturization in One

AdvensProtect 2-EHG is not just an effective preservative booster; it also delivers excellent skin moisturization and deodorant properties. Its ability to enhance traditional preservatives like phenoxyethanol and parabens allows formulators to reduce preservative load while maintaining high efficacy. AdvensProtect 2-EHG Plus adds tocopherol for added stability, making it perfect for creating formulations that are not only efficient but also long-lasting. Both ingredients help brands create multifunctional, consumer-friendly products that offer both protection and hydration.

AdvensProtect 5 Green & 5 Ultra: Sustainable Solutions with High Performance

For formulators seeking sustainability without compromising on performance, AdvensProtect 5 Green is derived from sugar cane pulp, offering a renewable, eco-friendly solution. It not only preserves but also boosts skin hydration and enhances active ingredient penetration, allowing for cleaner formulations with fewer ingredients. Meanwhile, AdvensProtect 5 Ultra provides similar benefits but with a focus on solubilization and viscosity improvement, helping to stabilize emulsions while enhancing product feel​. These versatile ingredients support the creation of streamlined, high-performance formulations that meet both eco-conscious and performance-driven demands.

AdvensProtect 6 & AdvensProtect 8: Boosting Protection and Sensory Appeal

AdvensProtect 6 is a multifunctional additive that enhances moisturization and works synergistically with traditional preservatives like phenoxyethanol and organic acids. This makes it a perfect fit for products where minimizing preservatives is key. AdvensProtect 8 offers a similar function with additional sensory benefits, improving the feel of formulations while increasing their resistance to microbial attacks. These ingredients allow formulators to craft products that not only protect but also enhance the user experience, meeting modern demands for high-performing yet simple beauty solutions.

AdvensProtect 68: Versatility in Moisturization and Preservation

AdvensProtect 68 combines the power of 1,2-hexanediol and caprylyl glycol to provide deep moisturization while enhancing preservative efficacy. It helps lock in moisture by attaching to the skin’s lipid layers, making it ideal for formulations that need to deliver hydration alongside protection. Its ability to work synergistically with traditional antimicrobial agents makes it a must-have for formulators looking to reduce ingredient lists while ensuring broad-spectrum protection.

AdvensProtect OE: Elevating the Sensory Profile

AdvensProtect OE blends caprylyl glycol and ethylhexylglycerin to deliver not only preservation but also emollient properties. Its ability to improve the skin feel of formulations makes it a go-to choice for personal care products where texture and sensory experience are key to consumer satisfaction​. This multifunctional approach allows formulators to create rich, effective products without overloading formulations with individual ingredients.

AdvensProtect PEHG & PHE: Preservative Blends for Clean Beauty

AdvensProtect PEHG combines phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin, two powerful preservatives, into a blend that offers broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and yeast. The added emollient properties of ethylhexylglycerin also enhance skin feel, making this blend perfect for creating clean beauty formulations that require minimal preservatives. AdvensProtect PHE, a highly effective traditional preservative, complements other multifunctional additives in the range by offering tried-and-true protection against microbial contamination while maintaining a minimal impact on the overall ingredient count.

Delivering More with Less

Today’s consumers demand more from their beauty products—fewer ingredients, cleaner labels, and higher performance. Seqens’ AdvensProtect line of multifunctional preservatives provides formulators with the tools they need to simplify formulations while maximizing benefits. From preservation and moisturization to enhancing sensory appeal and improving active ingredient efficacy, these multifunctional ingredients meet the needs of modern beauty consumers and help brands stay competitive. By incorporating Seqens’ multifunctional preservatives, formulators can create high-performance products with fewer ingredients that deliver more.
