KEMIDANT PLUS
Kemidant Plus is a powerful cosmetic preservative in solid form based on DMDM Hydantoin & IPBC. It is a synergistic combination with the highest antimicrobial efficacy for the broad spectrum protection of cosmetics in a wide pH range and without affecting the final appearance of formulations. Kemidant Plus represents an effective alternative to parabens-based system, active at very low levels. Kemidant Plus is highly efficacious against Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts & moulds. The synergistic combination of the antifungal properties of IPBC with the antibacterial properties of DMDM Hydantoin provides both bactericidal and fungicidal activity already at 0.05%.
