Sharomix 1 kg

What makes the 1 kg Sharomix package suitable for large-scale cosmetic manufacturing

Sharomix belongs to the Preservatives and Antioxidants category and is one of the most commonly used broad-spectrum preservatives in water-based cosmetic and personal care formulations. The 1 kg package is intended for manufacturers producing creams, lotions, shampoos, gels and wet wipes in large batches, as well as contract manufacturers who need a reliable supply of raw material without frequent small reorders.

The primary industry for this ingredient is industrial cosmetic and personal care production, along with related household chemistry formulations that contain a water phase and require an extended shelf life. Sharomix protects formulations against a wide range of bacteria, mold and yeast, which allows it to function as the main preservative system in most recipes without additional antimicrobial support. In more complex multiphase systems containing botanical extracts or protein-based ingredients that can serve as a nutrient source for microorganisms, formulators sometimes reinforce protection with a targeted product such as Sharomix DMP 10 g.

The preservative should be added at the final stage of emulsion preparation, once the mixture has cooled to around 35-40 degrees Celsius, since prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can reduce the activity of the functional compounds. The typical working dosage ranges from 0.5 to 1.2 percent of the total batch weight, depending on the formulation composition and the intended shelf life of the finished product. Before adding it to the main batch, it is convenient to pre-dissolve the preservative in a small amount of Propylene Glycol 100 ml, which helps achieve an even distribution throughout the emulsion and reduces the risk of localized zones with insufficient protective concentration.

Sharomix is compatible with most emulsifiers used in industrial formulations, including Emulsifier PEG 100 25 g, which is frequently used to build stable cream and lotion bases. This combination gives manufacturers a consistent system with predictable shelf life, which is essential for batch production on automated lines. When working with a bulk package, proper storage matters: the container should be tightly closed, kept in a dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources, allowing the material to retain its declared properties over an extended period, which simplifies inventory management on the production floor.

Before launching a full production run, technologists usually prepare a trial batch to confirm emulsion stability and the absence of microbial growth over several weeks of controlled storage. This step reduces the risk of scaling issues when moving a formulation from laboratory volume to industrial output, where mistakes in preservative selection carry a much higher cost.
