A synergistic blend of sodium benzoate with the skin conditioning agent levulinic acid, derived from non-GMO sources. This raw material has an excellent antimicrobial activity and can be applied in natural cosmetics. Verstatil® BL non GMO is perfectly suitable for surfactant based products and tonics. The combination with antimicrobial surface active substances (e.g. dermosoft® GMCY MB) is recommended to improve the performance against fungi in emulsions.
