ABSTRACT
In this study, we investigate the efficiency of Magnolia officinalis bark extract and heptyl undecylenate (A-Silkne) in antimicrobial activity and preservative effects. The results of this study demonstrate that A-Silkne has a good preservative effect as a natural-derived antimicrobial agent, and is particularly synergic with various preservatives. In addition, A-Silkne was found to have potential efficacy for anti-acne and similar skin feel to silicone oils. With this study, it is concluded that A-Silkne, as a multifunctional ingredient, can be an excellent alternative, reducing the use of higher doses of chemical/synthetic preservatives that are often associated with sensitivity and allergic reactions
