Description
Product
Amylase
Ezymes are produced using fermentation which involves growing carefully selected microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) in a rich broth of nutrients (the fermentation medium) and a high concentration of oxygen (aerobic conditions). Enzymes are an alternative to traditional chemical ingredients. Amylase enzymes are ideally situated to remove starch based stains e.g potato, rice and grain.

Potassium Sorbate
Potassium Sorbate is a potassium salt of sorbic acid, a naturally occurring antimicrobial compound found in some berries, and is often used as a preservative. It is used to inhibit molds and yeasts in many foods and beverages. Many herbal dietary supplement products generally contain potassium sorbate, which acts to prevent mold and microbes and to increase shelf life, and is used in quantities at which there are no known adverse health effects, over short periods of time. It is used in many personal care products to inhibit the development of microorganisms for shelf stability. Some manufacturers are using this preservative as a replacement for parabens.

Sodium Carbonate
Sodium Carbonate (also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals) is a naturally occurring mineral and is extracted through mining. Sodium Carbonate is a pH adjuster that can also be found in bath, skin and hair products. It alters the pH of a product to improve stability over time. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective as a carpet cleaner. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can.

Sodium Chloride
Sodium chloride, also known as salt, common salt, table salt. It is a naturally occurring mineral and is either mined or extracted from the ocean. Sodium Chloride is a carrier that is most commonly known as table salt, and can also be found in many household products including shampoos, makeup and bath products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. Without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface.

Sodium Citrate is a builder that can also be found in various household products including shampoos, mascara and lipstick. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. It can also be used as a stabilizer that maintains the clarity of the product and protects its pH. The pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can. To ensure product performance, it is important that product formulas maintain their stability over time.
