Octopirox® Anti-Dandruff Agent
TAKING ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOOS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Octopirox® (INCI: Piroctone Olamine) is a nontoxic antidandruff active ingredient which is particularly suitable for the manufacture of hair care products such as shampoos and hair care products such as hair tonics and cream rinses with an antidandruff action. It is extremely easy to formulate, enabling stable formulations with no effort. Octopirox® controls the growth of microorganisms effectively and is directly targeting the cause of dandruff.
Anti-dandruff, flake & itch-free, and anti-microbial
Octopirox has been successfully used for over 30 years for its good compatibility, its antimicrobial functionality and its long shelf life. It is generally considered safe, non-irritating and non-allergenic. Due to the good solubility in aqueous surfactant systems as well as alcohol/water mixtures, Octopirox is especially suitable for the formulation of clear products.
