KEMABEN DHA
Kemaben DHA is a unique preservative blend based on widely accepted cosmetic preservatives. Optimized combination with broad spectrum activity and superior water solubility provides highly effective protection against both bacteria and fungi to a wide range of personal care products. Kemaben DHA is globally approved and suggested for the preservation of aqueous, emulsions & oil-based formulations with low pH. Kemaben DHA is a balanced combination of the antibacterial activity of phenoxyethanol with the antifungal activity of methylparaben & dehydroacetic acid. It is effective against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts and moulds. Due to presence of an organic acid, the activity depends on the pH of the formulation, the lower the pH the higher the antimicrobial activity with maximum effect in the pH range 3-6.
