Overview
What is Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol?Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (INCI: Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol, CAS: 1777-82-8), chemical name 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol, is a broad-spectrum preservative raw material. It appears as white to pale yellow acicular crystalline powder. Within the formulation system, it inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast and mold by disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting enzyme activity. It exhibits good inhibitory performance against fungi and mites in the formulation system. It features a wide applicable pH range and excellent compatibility with surfactants and plant extracts, and has good thermal stability. It can be applied in formulation systems such as cosmetics, oral care products and pharmaceutical preparations. According to Chinese cosmetic regulations, the maximum permitted concentration for use as a preservative is 0.15%. When dosed in compliance with regulations, it provides long-term protection for the formulation system, reduces microbial contamination of finished products and extends shelf life.
