WHAT IS CLIMBAZOLE AND WHY SHOULD WE BE TESTING FOR IT?
What is Climbazole and How is it Used in Cosmetic Products?
Climbazole is an additive and antifungal agent used in over-the-counter shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and face washes to treat human fungal skin infections like eczema and dandruff. Dandruff is suffered by as much as half of the population and about one in every ten individuals in the United States will develop eczema during their lifetime. This agent helps to treat these moderate to severe fungal infections and their symptoms such as redness, and dry, itchy, and flakey skin without causing irritation to the affected area when used properly.
Is Climbazole Safe?
In the use of cosmetic products with a maximum concentration of 0.5% Climbazole cannot be considered safe, but when it is used as a preservative in hair cosmetics and face cosmetics at 0.5%, it does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer. Climbazole is a stable acid with a neutral pH that ranges between pH 4-7 and has excellent light, heat and storage abilities.
Is Climbazole more Effective when Combined with Zinc Pyrithione for Dandruff?
Though Climbazole is effective on its own, the addition of zinc pryithione can add to the shampoo’s efficacy. Zinc pyrthione can inhibit the growth of yeast, which is a main factor in dandruff, and has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties that can work in conjunction with Climbazole.
How do you Dissolve Climbazole?
Climbazole is soluble and can be dissolved in a small amount of rubbing alcohol, glycols, surfactants, and perfume oils, but it is insoluble in water. It also dissolves faster at elevated temperatures so using a warm solvent is recommended.
Is Dandruff a Fungus?
Most dandruff problems are a result of fungus known as Malassezia that live on your scalp causing skin cells to multiply more quickly than usual. The most effective treatment is dandruff shampoo that delivers the anti-fungal agent directly to the scalp.
