I'm having trouble finding these three ingredients in my formulation. Are there any alternatives available?

  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Hydrolyzed Colagen
  • Aristoflex AVC

Answer

Based on your inquiry about alternatives for Phenoxyethanol, Hydrolyzed Collagen, and Aristoflex AVC, I have checked the available ingredients.

Here are the findings:

  • Phenoxyethanol: We have several options available:

    • Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure): A highly pure form of this common preservative.
    • Phenoxyethanol P5: Another pure Phenoxyethanol product.
    • Chlorphenesin / Phenoxyethanol (Microcare PHC eq.): A blend that provides broad-spectrum preservation.
  • Hydrolyzed Collagen: We have different types of collagen and related proteins suitable for various applications:

    • Collagen HP: An ultra-low molecular weight fish collagen ideal for skin hydration and anti-aging in water-based formulas.
    • Hair Collagen (Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Collagen): Specifically designed for hair products to provide softness.
    • LipX®-Collagen (Oil-Dispersed Soluble 2-5KDa Collagen): A low molecular weight collagen processed to be dispersible in oil, suitable for oil-based products like lip balms.
  • Aristoflex AVC: This ingredient, which functions as a thickener and gelling agent, is available.

If you are looking for alternatives to Aristoflex AVC with similar thickening or gelling properties, other types of gelling polymers might be suitable depending on your specific formulation requirements. However, Aristoflex AVC itself is available.

Please let me know if you need more details on any of these products or further assistance with your formulation.
