Green Chem Finder helps you select sustainable preservation ingredients with precision

Formulating preservative systems for cosmetics is no longer straightforward. Beyond ensuring microbiological safety and regulatory compliance, today’s formulators must also meet consumer expectations for products that are natural, sustainable, and transparent.

The challenge? The list of conventional preservatives is shrinking, while new, promising antimicrobial ingredients are being launched at a rapid pace. Tracking these innovations and accessing reliable, comparable technical data can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Your Shortcut to Smarter Ingredient Selection

Green Chem Finder is a free-to-use platform designed for cosmetic formulators, ingredient buyers, and brand teams. It simplifies the search for the right preservation system by allowing you to filter over 300 ingredients using up to 20 targeted criteria.

Whether you’re looking for:

  • High-pH system compatibility
  • Specific antimicrobial activity (antibacterial, antifungal, broad spectrum, or booster)
  • Physical form (liquid or solid) or solubility (water or oil)
  • Natural origin content and palm-free status
  • Regulatory compliance in the EU, China, and the US

…Green Chem Finder gives you instant, refined shortlists that match your formulation needs. Multiple filters can be applied at once to zero in on the most relevant ingredients, saving valuable R&D time.
