Caution
Phenonip is a common oil-soluble, broad-spectrum, paraben-based preservative. It is designed for preservation of a wide range of cosmetics and toiletries, and provides protection against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts and molds. It is extremely effective in the presense of most cosmetic ingredients.
This product is extremely versatile, easy to handle and to dose. It is especially effective in oil-based products, but also works well in aqueous solutions, and may be used in emulsions and anhydrous formulations.
