“preservative preservative Benzoic Acid (and) yellowish activity against bacteria, mold 6.4 Dehydroacetic Acid solution and yeast”

Source is Ashland's preservatives brochure (PC-11312.9); the PDF table text is column-interleaved, so the INCI 'Phenoxyethanol (and) Benzoic Acid (and) Dehydroacetic Acid' is split across the two quoted lines of the Optiphen ND / Rokonsal ND row. No standalone Ashland product page could be fetched (403).
