Overview
Chlorphenesin is an ingredient that serves as a preservative and antimicrobial agent for skincare products, including creams, lotions, gels, and serums.
This white crystalline powder protects the products from a wide range of bacteria and fungi, including S. aureus and C. albicans, which makes it a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent. It is typically used at levels less than 0.3 percent, and it often accompanies other preservatives, such as phenoxyethanol.
Chlorphenesin can also act as a booster for the efficacy of other preservatives added to the system.
