ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITION AND COSMETIC

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an antimicrobial composition suitable for cosmetic compounding a reduced amount of paraben, having low irritation and safety without lowering antiseptic, antimicrobial and sterilizing effects by blending paraben with pionin. CONSTITUTION:An antimicrobial composition and cosmetic having low irritation containing pionin and paraben. The blending ratio is preferably 0.001-0.005wt.% pionin and 0.02-0.1wt.% paraben. The amount of paraben blended can be reduced to about 1/10, the composition or cosmetic has no problems of solubility and yet has antimicrobial power. Use of both the components shows sufficiently antimicrobial and sterilizing effects on cosmetic contaminating microorganisms.
