Revolutionizing Preservation: DropPrev® MPB & MPB10 – The Future of Eco-Conservative Science
May 29, 2025
In an era demanding safer, high-performance preservatives, DropPrev® MPB and its optimized variant DropPrev® MPB10 redefine cosmetic preservation through groundbreaking science. Derived from nature, perfected by innovation, these halogen-free solutions set new standards for efficacy, safety, and formulation flexibility.
The Science Behind DropPrev® MPB
INCI: α-Terpinene-5-ol (o-Cymen-5-ol)
CAS No: 3228-02-2 | Mol. Formula: C₁₀H₁₄O
Natural Origin: A stable isomer of thymol (found in thyme oil), retaining botanical benefits while outperforming its source.
Why Formulators Choose MPB:
"Antibacterial activity surpassing thymol by orders of magnitude"
✅ Ultra-Low Dosage: Effective at 0.01–0.1%
✅ Halogen/Heavy Metal-Free: Meets global regulatory standards (incl. Japanese Pharmacopeia)
✅ Multi-Functional: Combines preservation with UV absorption, antioxidant activity, and mild astringency
DropPrev® MPB10: Microemulsion Breakthrough
This pre-dispersed system (INCI: o-Cymen-5-ol, Isopentyldiol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PPG-26-Buteth-26) solves MPB’s solubility challenges while amplifying benefits:
Key Innovations:🔬 Microemulsion Technology:
Prevents crystallization in aqueous systems
Enables crystal-clear serums, toners, and oral care products
💧 Unmatched Compatibility:
Zero known ingredient conflicts
pH-stable (3–8), resisting salt-induced passivation
Clinical Advantages:
Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Eliminates bacteria, fungi, yeast, and dental plaque pathogens at ≤0.5% dosage
Skin Health Benefits: Reduces oiliness, combats acne/comedones
Sensory Excellence: Near-zero odor, taste, and irritation (non-sensitizing at 2%)
Why This Changes Formulation
Traditional Preservatives
DropPrev® MPB10
Limited pH stability
Stable in acidic/alkaline environments
Corrosive to packaging
Non-corrosive (metal/rubber/plastic safe)
Halogen-containing
Eco-compliant & biodegradable
Functional trade-offs
Multifunctional: Preservative + Antioxidant + Skin Actives
Applications Revolutionized:
