Description
Leucidal is a natural preservative derived from the filtrate of fermented radishes. It is used to restrict the grown of microbes in cosmetic products, particularly bacteria and fungi. It is a water soluble ingredient, heat stable up to 70°C. It is colourless and odourless and most active in a pH range between 3 and 8. 

Cosmetic benefits
Preservatives usually play a singular role in protecting a product against microbial growth, however Leucidal has the added benefit of contributing to the moisturising capabilities of an emulsion, improving the product’s efficacy. 

Formulation types
Leucidal can be used in a wide range of cosmetic formulations including creams, lotions, body butters, room sprays, toners and more. 

% Use in formulation
Recommended use 2%-4%. It is commonly paired with Phytocide Elderberry to create a robust natural preserving system, protecting against a wide range of microbes.
