Lysozyme Enzyme Preservative

Lysozyme is a natural enzyme preservative extracted from egg white. It efficiently destroys Gram-positive bacteria by hydrolyzing bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan. With high safety, clean-label property and good water solubility, it effectively inhibits microbial growth, prevents product spoilage and extends shelf life. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care products and food formulas as a mild and non-irritating antibacterial preservative. It features excellent compatibility with most aqueous cosmetic and food systems, and maintains stable antibacterial performance under neutral to weak acidic conditions. Unlike synthetic preservatives, it brings low irritation risk and meets global clean label trends, ideal for mild skincare formulas and natural food systems. The product appears as uniform white fine powder with faint odor. No harmful residual substances will be generated during antibacterial action. It serves as an ideal natural alternative to traditional chemical preservatives to satisfy rising consumer demand for safe and natural raw materials.

Lysozyme hydrolyzes peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls to rupture microbial structures and achieve natural antibacterial preservation. It mainly suppresses the proliferation of gram-positive spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria to effectively avoid product deterioration. It maintains stable antibacterial activity within neutral to weakly acidic environment and exhibits favorable compatibility with most formula systems. As a mild antibacterial ingredient, it reduces the risk of skin irritation and adapts to gentle skincare and food formulas. It inhibits microbial reproduction continuously to prolong the shelf life of finished goods. No hazardous chemical residues will be produced during antibacterial action, making it an ideal natural substitute for traditional synthetic preservatives. It supports clean-label formulation requirements and complies with mainstream global raw material regulations for cosmetics and food, helping brands develop safer, nature-oriented end products.

It is widely applied in cosmetics and personal care industry, suitable for sensitive skincare lotion, cream, facial cleanser, essence and oral care products as mild natural antibacterial preservative. It serves as clean-label food preservative in dairy products, fermented beverages, seafood, cooked meat and bean products to suppress spoilage bacteria and maintain food freshness. It can be added into biopharmaceutical raw materials and wound care formulations for antibacterial and anti-infection purposes, meeting high safety requirements of medical-grade systems. It is also applicable in biological fermentation and raw material preservation fields to control harmful bacteria contamination and stabilize production system environment. It can be used in household gentle cleaning products such as natural hand wash and body wash, providing safe antibacterial effect without harsh chemical ingredients. It works well in plant extract and natural raw material storage solutions to restrain microbial growth and extend the storage cycle of plant-derived raw materials.
