Sharomix 10 g

Keeping Water-Based Formulas Stable Throughout Their Shelf Life

Sharomix 10 g is a broad-spectrum preservative blend designed to protect cosmetic and household formulations from bacteria, yeast and mold growth throughout their entire usage period. This product belongs to the Preservatives and Antioxidants category, which brings together substances that stabilize aqueous phases, emulsions, gels and creams across a wide range of formulations. The 10 gram size is aimed mainly at home formulators, small test batches and studio-scale experimentation, where precise dosing matters more than bulk supply.

The primary use of Sharomix spans creams, lotions, serums, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, wet wipes and other water-containing products that require reliable protection against microbial contamination. This preservative is especially popular among natural and organic cosmetic formulators thanks to its gentle profile and good compatibility with plant extracts, oils and hydrosols. Beyond skincare and haircare, similar preservative systems are used in household chemistry - liquid soaps, industrial hand creams, dishwashing liquids, and occasionally in water-based soap crafting recipes as well.

The recommended dosage of Sharomix typically ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 percent of total formula weight, and the exact concentration should be adjusted based on the specific product composition and water activity level. The preservative should be added at the final cooling stage of production, once the emulsion temperature drops to around 35-40 degrees Celsius, to avoid degrading active components through heat exposure. Pre-dissolving the preservative in a small portion of the water phase before blending it into the main batch is a good practice that ensures even distribution and consistent protection throughout the product.

Sharomix is frequently combined with other antimicrobial ingredients to broaden the protective spectrum of a finished formula. It pairs well with Amipreserve, which reinforces antiseptic properties and helps control excess oiliness in skincare formulas. For products with higher contamination risk, such as multiphase emulsions or formulas containing organic fillers, formulators often add Bronopol, which quickly suppresses bacterial activity during the early storage stage. In household chemistry and antiseptic formulations, it also combines well with Benzalkonium chloride 50%, adding noticeable disinfecting action to the final product.

Sharomix should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to preserve its stated activity for the full shelf life. When storage conditions and dosage are followed correctly, the preservative remains stable and does not alter the sensory properties of the finished product.
