Chlorphenesin is a mild and efficient preservative widely used in skincare and personal care formulations. It offers broad-spectrum protection—especially against fungi—while remaining non-irritating and odorless, making it suitable for sensitive-skin products.
Supplied as a white to off-white powder, Chlorphenesin is soluble in both water and alcohol, allowing easy incorporation into creams, lotions, serums, and gel systems. It works well alongside common preservatives such as potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and MIT, providing excellent formulation flexibility.
Recommended usage is 0.1–0.3%, offering reliable preservation without affecting product stability or texture. Chlorphenesin is recognized as safe under global cosmetic regulations, making it a dependable choice for modern skincare formulations.
