Description
Fragard Preservative
Natural preservation solution of plant origin with a vanilla-almond scent.
Fragard is a multifunctional ingredient derived from plant raw materials that combines preservation with formula fragrancing. Thanks to its broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, yeasts, and molds, it allows for the formulation of cosmetic products free from classic synthetic preservatives while maintaining the microbiological stability of the finished product.
Its sweet aroma with vanilla notes makes it possible to omit additional fragrance in many recipes, making it a practical formulation solution for emulsions, gels, or gentle cleansing products. It is a suitable ingredient for natural formulations and products aiming to avoid conventional preservatives.
Ingredients (INCI): Parfum
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Clear liquid; colorless to pale yellow; characteristic sweet odor with a vanilla note
- Solubility: Dispersible in water up to a concentration of 0.6%
- Quality: Plant-derived ingredient, formulated according to IFRA recommendations
- Recommended Dosage: 0.4 - 1% as a complete preservation solution, depending on formulation type
Scientific Studies and Documentation
According to studies conducted by the producer of this ingredient, antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), established at 0.5% for major reference strains: Staphylococcus aureus (Gram+), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli (Gram-), Candida albicans (yeast), and Aspergillus brasiliensis (mold).
Also according to the producer, challenge tests (full protection) were conducted on several types of finished formulations, non-ionic and anionic gels, O/W emulsions, and shampoos, at concentrations of 0.5% and 1%, with all tested formulations meeting Criterion A of the European Pharmacopoeia, indicating an optimal rate of reduction in microbial load. Antimicrobial efficacy is maintained across a broad pH range between 4.0 and 9.0.
Properties and Benefits

It's my favorite preservative because it also has a great smell for me, slightly almondy and sweet. I replace Cosgard in any recipe with fragard just because it has this wonderful smell, I'm just sorry I can't use it in toning lotions.
Magic, easy to dose, its specific scent adds a pleasant aroma to the creams in which it is used, in addition to prolonging its shelf life.
A very interesting 2 in 1 product - effective preservative but also a great fragrance from my point of view, as of all the fragrances I've tried this is the only one I really like and don't sneeze at. And the fact that it is usable in a wide pH range is definitely the third strong point! It's true that I haven't yet had the courage to use it for reactive, atopic skin, intolerant even to therapeutic essential oils specifically designed for this condition, but reading some reviews maybe I will manage to do it. On another note, I am extremely curious about the composition of this product which remains a top secret of the manufacturer ... although, I have a strong suspicion that I have elucidated part of the secret and I will share it here for those as curious as me: the pure product smells to me 90% of lilac! And looking for studies, I found a lot that analyze and highlight the exceptional antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiproliferative, etc. properties of extracts from certain species of lilac (Syringa sp.) 😉
It smells great, especially for a preservative. I have had no problems with products preserved with it, (admittedly I haven't even exceeded the recommended times of use) and it has not caused any allergic reactions.
It's a wonderful preservative. In addition to the preservative effect, it has a pleasant odor. I recommend it.
It is a broad-spectrum preservative, indicated for emulsions and offers a good preservative efficiency, in my experience for 1 year at 1% concentration and under conditions of storage of the cream at 25 degrees Celsius and without humidity
An excellent preservative, especially for sensitive, or problem skin. I use it in everything I make, as it has a subtle and pleasant scent, doesn't irritate the skin, and is also suitable for baby products. I recommend
Jeg har købt denne til konservering, men har ikke brugt den endnu. Jeg er meget spændt på, hvor kraftigt den dufter igennem i det færdige produkt.
Fragard is a very good plant-based preservative. It extends the shelf life of creams, lotions and cosmetic compositions prepared by emulsification. In addition, it delights you with its subtly sweet scent, with notes of vanilla and almond.
It is my favorite preservative for some emulsions. I like the smell it imparts to preparations and it preserves well.
I like this preservative very much, plus it has a very pleasant, sweet, slightly powdery fragrance. I like the fact that it dissolves in alcohol and can be added to perfumed preparations, so a big plus!
Fragard is the best preservative for cosmetics. Besides, it's also a 100% natural product.
I use it mainly for preserving face creams. It is compatible with sensitive and problem skin.
It smells wonderful. I like it very much. In addition to the fact that it preserves well, it also gives the creams a wonderful smell.
A product of plant origin suitable for preserving creams, lotions and cosmetic compositions prepared by emulsification. It has a subtly sweet scent with hints of vanilla and almond.
light aroma of vanilla and almonds. Here's what I like about this medium. Works great for preserving my skin care products ha
Love the smell of this product. Used it together with my preservative to enhance the preservation, so far it works great.
I made a day cream according to the recipe from this site. It is too early to say what effect it will have, I have been using it for several days. But the quality of all goods is satisfied.
It is a natural preservative with a very pleasant and discreet odor. I have been using it for years for creams prepared in the pharmacy
