Shampoo and conditioner

Piroctone olamine is widely used in shampoo and hair care products, and the addition of piroctone olamine at 0.2% to 0.5% can achieve an obvious anti-dandruff effect. In addition to the excellent anti-dandruff performance, compared with other anti-dandruff agents, it is easy to use and can be used in transparent systems without suspending. The excellent compatibility performance is compatible with the raw materials commonly used in daily chemical products. I heard that Piroctone olamine has a wide range of applications and is suitable for various dosage forms, such as lotion, cream, spray, etc.; it will not affect the conditioning performance of the system. Due to these advantages of Piroctone olamine, it has been widely used in hair care products.

Piroctone olamine has the effect of inhibiting acne, and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against propionibacterium is 3-6 µg/mL, which is many times stronger than that of salicylic acid (MIC>2000 µg/mL), and better than clindamycin ( MIC about 32µg/mL) and erythromycin (MIC about 64µg/mL). Due to its good compatibility and stability, piroctone olamine is suitable for cosmetics such as lotion, cream, and gel.

Many manufacturers of Piroctone olamine use it instead of preservatives and have successively launched products such as "anti-corrosion anti-dandruff shampoo, anti-corrosion anti-dandruff hair cream, anti-corrosion anti-dandruff soap/cream" and other products, thus catering to people's growing demand for anti-corrosion. Cosmetics "high efficiency, low stimulation, no preservatives" requirements. In the future, Piroctone olamine will become one of the most commonly used anti-dandruff and anti-itch agents. Piroctone olamine has very broad-spectrum antibacterial and bactericidal properties, and it can be combined with other preservatives to achieve synergistic antibacterial, improve solubility, and ease of operation.

Antiperspirant and deodorant products

Odor in underarms and other parts is mainly caused by microorganisms such as staphylococcus and coryneform bacteria, and Piroctone olamine has excellent bactericidal performance against such microorganisms and is widely used in such products. In the body odor test experiment, 20 volunteers were selected, and the test site was the armpit, and the professional body odor evaluation value was used to score and evaluate, and the body odor after using the washing products containing 0.1% triclosan and the washing products containing 0.1% piroctone olamine respectively. The results showed that the product containing 0.1% Piroctone olamine had a better deodorizing effect than the product containing 0.1% triclosan after 4h and 24h use.
