GEOGARD ECT

The Behind-the-Scenes Ingredient Worth Knowing

Geogard ECT is a cosmetic preservation system used in suitable water-containing products. It helps control the growth of unwanted microorganisms.

Why We Chose It

Water and cosmetics require extra care. We choose preservatives with a specific, practical purpose: helping protect product quality when a formula calls for them.

Good to Know

Not every personal-care product needs the same kind of preservation; the product's ingredients and water content determine what is appropriate.

Fun Fact

Geogard ECT isn't one mysterious substance. It's a combination of four separate ingredients—benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, glycerin and sorbic acid—each playing a part in the preservation system.
