EasySafe Hexam+ (formerly called Minasolve Hexam +) contains Hexamidine Diisethionate, an ingredient with a long track record of safe use.
EasySafe Hexam+ has good cutaneous and mucous tolerance. It is therefore well suited for leave on and rinse off products, particularly for those applied to sensitive areas.
EasySafe Hexam+ was dermatologically tested as a 2% aqueous solution in a skin acceptability study, ran in parallel with a corneometry test. The result was a very good skin acceptability rating.
EasySafe Hexam+ generally contributes to a pleasant skin feel in cosmetic formulations.
EasySafe Hexam+ is a dual-functional blend, designed for the microbial protection of cosmetics and as skin moisturizer. It is especially suited for application in products for sensitive skin. The blend is well suited for aqueous solutions, emulsions and surfactant-based systems.
It contributes to a pleasant, non-sticky and non-greasy skin-feel in personal care products.
EasySafe Hexam+ contains a unique quality of Hexamidine Diisethionate, produced by a proprietary process that avoids the presence of toxic solvents. It is based on Pentylene Glycol (A-Leen® 5), sustainably made from bio-based raw materials (sugar cane bagasse).
