ZLEY® BIOCARE-CHA – Capryloyl Hydroxamic Acid (CAS 7377-03-9): More Than a Preservative, A Gentle Guardian for the Skin
ZLEY® BIOCARE-CHA – Capryloyl Hydroxamic Acid is an highly effective organic acid that demonstrates excellent antibacterial and antimicrobial performance under neutral pH conditions, making it suitable for formulations that are free of traditional chemical preservatives. As an organic acid, it remains in a non-ionized state across the entire acidic-to-neutral pH range, which ensures optimal antimicrobial efficacy. Its high-efficiency chelating properties sequester trace elements essential for mold growth, thereby limiting the environmental conditions required for microbial proliferation. Capryloyl Hydroxamic Acid exhibits high compatibility with the vast majority of cosmetic raw materials and remains unaffected by surfactants, proteins, or other ingredients in the formulation system. It can be effectively combined with alcohols, glycols, and other preservative agents for synergistic effects. This ingredient can be seamlessly incorporated into product formulations under both ambient and high-temperature processing conditions.
