Climbazole

Description

Climbazole is a topical antifungal agent commonly used in the treatment of human fungal skin infections such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and other scalp infections.

A powerful anti-dandruff active with a long history of successful use. Climbazole provides excellent activity against the main cause of dandruff, Malassezia species. Climbazole is suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off hair care formulations.

Climbazole provides no formation of coloured complexes with metal ions which cause discoloration in formulations. It has good compatibility with perfume oils and other commonly used hair care raw materials and is soluble in alcohol, glycols, surfactants and certain perfume oils. It’s stable in acid and neutral pH ranges and not hygroscopic (does not absorb water from the air). Climbazole has excellent light, heat and storage stability.

Though Climbazole is effective on its own, the addition of zinc pryithione can add to the shampoo’s efficacy. Zinc pyrthione can inhibit the growth of yeast, which is a main factor in dandruff, and has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties that can work in conjunction with Climbazole.
