With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, the national consumption level has stepped into a new stage, and an increasing number of customers pay attention to beauty and skin care, so various types of cosmetic brands have come into thousands of households. In order to cater to the beauty market, cosmetics are bound to seek some new selling points: no preservatives added in the cosmetics can not only enhance the brand tone, but also highlight the technical strength, which naturally becomes a new selling point for product upgrades.
Nowadays, skin care products contain a certain amount of caprylhydroxamic acid, as a new type of preservative. But many people are not very familiar with its composition and do not know what it is, not to mention its role.
Springchem will next share a brief introduction to the effectiveness of caprylhydroxamic acid on the skin, its characteristics and related product applications.
What is caprylhydroxamic acid?
Caprylhydroxamic acid is a safe and ideal organic acid and acts as an antibacterial agent in cosmetics and skin care products. It’s non-eye irritant, non-skin irritant and non-potentially allergenic. However, it is difficult to achieve good inhibition effect when used alone. Therefore, it should be used in combination with low irritants of the same natural origin such as ethylhexylglycerol, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, and glyceryl caprylate, etc., so as to improve its inhibition ability.
It has no harmful effect on pregnant women, and does not cause acne. It has efficient and selective chelating ability for divalent and trivalent iron ions, and the growth of mycobacteria is limited in the environment where iron ions are restricted. It also has the optimal carbon chain length that can promote the degradation of cell membrane structure, so it has strong antibacterial ability and is a new type of preservative substance.
Characteristics and applications of caprylhydroxamic acid
Caprylhydroxamic acid is the additive-free preservative with the minimized cost and the most stable organic acid additive-free preservative. Due to its excellent antibacterial effect, it has a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. In addition, it can resist the excess secretion of sebum, and has an obvious effect on the prevention and treatment of acne. It’s also effective in inhibiting the activation of elastase, preventing the decomposition of elastin and reducing skin wrinkles.
Capryloylhydroxamic acid has excellent antibacterial properties for skin, and thus is widely used in skin care and hair care products such as gels, serums, lotions, creams, shampoos and shower gels.
