Optiphen MIT ULTRA specifications for bulk buyers
Optiphen MIT ULTRA is supplied from Switzerland in 1 kg packaging with INCI Phenylpropanol (and) Propylene Glycol (and) Methylisothiazolinone. International formulators source this liquid preservative through the Preservatives & Antioxidants Wholesale section for consistent quality in large-scale production.
Physical form and solubility profile
The product appears as a clear liquid. Solubility reaches full miscibility in glycerin, propylene glycol, ethanol and isopropanol while showing approximately 0.1 in water. Bulk packaging choices help maintain uniformity during transport and reduce handling steps for manufacturers.
Recommended usage rate and phase addition
Input levels range from 0.05-0.3%. The preservative performs well in alkaline conditions and suits rinse-off applications. Formulators typically add it after the batch cools below 40 °C and verify compatibility with other raw materials through lab trials.
Applications across cosmetic categories
Optiphen MIT ULTRA appears in shower gels, cleansing products, wipes, deodorants, conditioners, styling products, serums, sunscreens, creams and emulsions. Sourcing teams often combine it with complementary preservatives to cover broader microbial spectra in complex emulsions.
Storage conditions and shelf life management
Keep in tightly closed containers away from light in a cool location, avoiding temperatures below -5 °C. Ideal range stays between +5 °C and +25 °C. Best before date reaches 11.2028. Incoming quality checks include visual inspection and batch verification against supplied technical papers. Check new arrivals for the latest stock updates on similar materials.
Practical formulation example
In a shower gel base the preservative is incorporated after cooling, frequently alongside glycerin for even distribution. Manufacturers monitor finished product stability across temperature cycles and select packaging size according to production volume and reorder frequency.

Packaging selection and production scaling
When scaling cosmetic manufacturing, selecting the right transport container for Optiphen MIT ULTRA helps minimize losses and maintain ingredient stability. Producers commonly order the 1 kg size for medium runs while using smaller packs for initial trials. This flexibility supports efficient planning, formula stability testing and gradual volume increases without excess storage costs. Each batch comes with technical documentation requested in advance to meet internal quality standards. The approach reduces downtime risks and supports continuous output of finished goods.
Combinations with other ingredients and usage scenarios
In complex formulas Optiphen MIT ULTRA pairs well with glycerin and propylene glycol, improving distribution in emulsions and gels. Manufacturers test blends under varying temperatures to simulate real storage and shipping conditions for finished cosmetics. This proves especially useful when developing multi-functional products that require reliable microbial protection throughout shelf life. Additional checks evaluate effects on texture and scent, allowing formula adjustments before final launch. Expanding the raw material range with such preservatives enables companies to offer clients dependable products with extended usability periods.
