Why Biofermented Peptides Are Reshaping Natural Cosmetic Preservation
Leucidal Liquid is a biofermentation product derived from radish root, containing peptide compounds with pronounced antimicrobial properties. This ingredient has gained wide recognition among manufacturers of natural and organic cosmetics because it helps control bacterial growth in water-based and water-oil emulsions without relying on conventional synthetic preservatives. The product belongs to the category of Preservatives and Antioxidants, which brings together solutions designed to protect formulations from microbiological contamination throughout their shelf life.
The 1 liter packaging is aimed at medium-scale and industrial manufacturing: small cosmetic workshops, contract laboratories and production lines that regularly turn out batches of creams, lotions, shampoos and serums. Such volume ensures stable supply without frequent reordering and supports precise dosing across production runs. The ingredient is introduced at the final stage of emulsion preparation, after homogenization and cooling of the main mass to a temperature no higher than 40 degrees Celsius, which preserves the peptide structure of the active substance and keeps its protective function intact.
Recommended dosage ranges from 2 to 4 percent of the total formulation weight, with the exact figure depending on the product composition, the presence of a water phase and the intended shelf life of the finished item. This component works well alongside most emulsifiers, plant oils, botanical extracts and hydrosols, and can be combined with other protective systems to broaden coverage against fungi and yeasts. For instance, many formulators pair it with Sharomix 702 10 g or add Dermosoft GMCY Preservative 10 g for a more complete stabilization of the formula.
Its main applications span facial and body skincare, hair care products, gentle formulations for baby cosmetics, and organic or natural product lines where avoiding conventional parabens and formaldehyde-releasing agents is a priority. In the food industry, similar peptide complexes are also explored as alternatives to chemical preservatives, though the strongest demand today comes clearly from the cosmetic sector. The product should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and prolonged exposure to air after opening should be avoided. To broaden the protective spectrum and improve stability at elevated storage temperatures, manufacturers often supplement the formula with Dermosoft 1388 Preservative 100 ml, which works synergistically with peptide-based systems.
Lightweight Hydrating Body Lotion with Shea and Green Tea
Distilled water 650 ml
Shea butter 70 g
Jojoba oil 50 ml
Natural emulsifier 45 g
Green tea extract 20 ml
Leucidal Liquid 30 ml
Vitamin E 5 ml
Melt
the shea butter, jojoba oil and emulsifier together in a water bath until
reaching 70 degrees Celsius, while separately heating the distilled water to
the same temperature. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while
stirring continuously until a smooth lotion forms. Once the mixture cools to
38-40 degrees, blend in the green tea extract, vitamin E and preservative, mix
thoroughly until fully uniform, and transfer into clean pump bottles.
