KEMIDANT K

KEMIDANT K

Kemidant K is a complete preservative blend based on the long used cosmetic ingredients DMDM Hydantoin and Potassium sorbate. It is an optimised aqueous combination with broad spectrum activity and high antimicrobial efficacy designed for the preservation of a wide variety of cosmetics in the acid pH range.
Kemidant K represents an ideal alternative for formulators looking for a strong and easy to work preservative, effective at lower levels and with reduced in-use cost. It is particularly recommended in most difficult to preserve cosmetics where other mild preservatives failed.
Kemidant K is highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts & moulds. The combination of the high antifungal activity of Potassium sorbate with the strong antibacterial activity of DMDM Hydantoin results in a broad spectrum preservative system bactericidal at 0.1% and fungicidal at 0.4%.
