Sabinsa Corporation's SabiLize^®, a natural preservative composition has been granted US Patent 8329095 for its application as an anti-oxidant/anti-microbial preservative component for pre-pasteurized cosmetic formulations. This is the 77^th patent in Sabinsa's global portfolio.

In order to address the challenge in finding a natural preservative for topical products, the R&D team at Sabinsa developed SabiLize^® New. At 0.5% in creams was found to be significantly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, as well as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The constituents of SabiLize^® New are completely natural, effective at significantly low doses, have significant antioxidant potential and also have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity.

"In the increasingly popular category of natural cosmetics, staying true to nature and helping formulators deliver a natural based product has been challenging because of the need for preservatives," said Sabinsa Marketing Director Shaheen Majeed. "What the industry needed was a truly natural preservative that works, and we've solved that challenge. SabiLize^® New has two of the most important characteristic properties of a preservative: improved antimicrobial activity as well as a strong antioxidant activity to reduce oxidative damages."
