High protection profile for baby care products
MicNo® has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against a range of micro-organisms & fungi.

Due to MicNo’s unique platelet shape, it can also ease irritation (itching & rash) in a very short time.
MicNo® technology offers the opportunity for decreased or preservative free formulations, due to its unique shape. The need for less preservatives would result in kinder to skin & environment formulations but also a decrease in total formulation ingredients which could translate to reduced formulation costs.
