Piroctone Olamine Powder

What is Piroctone Olamine Powder?

This product is a highly effective, non-toxic and non-irritating anti-dandruff agent that can be widely used in anti-dandruff shampoo, hair care lotion, conditioner and other cleansing and care cosmetics. Its anti-dandruff and anti-itching mechanism is to fundamentally block the external channels of dandruff production through bactericidal and antioxidant effects, thereby effectively curing dandruff and stopping itching, rather than temporarily eliminating dandruff from the surface through degreasing and other methods. This is one of the reasons why its anti-dandruff and anti-itching performance is superior to similar products.
It is an anti-dandruff active ingredient that can soothe inflamed scalp and reduce dandruff. It has a special effect on the pathogen that causes dandruff, Pityrosporum ovale. Anti-dandruff products containing Piroctone Olamine can destroy the fungal infection that causes dandruff and inhibit the formation of new dandruff, keeping the scalp clean, itchy and preventing the formation of new dandruff.

It has a broad-spectrum killing effect on fungi and molds, and has good therapeutic effects on foot and hand ringworm.
It can also be used as a preservative in cosmetics, a bactericide in soaps, and has thickening properties.
Its unique performance is mainly reflected in its unique anti-dandruff mechanism, low irritation, no hair loss or hair breakage, and better safety than similar anti-dandruff and anti-itching products. The secret of its anti-dandruff and anti-itching effect is that it can fundamentally block the production of dandruff through sterilization, antioxidant effects, and decomposition of peroxides, thereby effectively curing dandruff and relieving itching.
Its advantages are mildness, low irritation, and environmental friendliness. But the disadvantages are also obvious: it is not easily soluble in water or oil; but it has good solubility in surfactants. Therefore, in anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, it is not easy to deposit on the scalp, resulting in limited anti-dandruff effect. But if used as a wash-free product, it is a good choice. In addition, due to its high requirements for water quality and other raw materials: it needs a small amount of metal ion residue, otherwise it is easy to change color; long-term light exposure will also affect stability.

The main properties related to cosmetics are as follows:
1.Solubility
Being soluble in surfactant systems is a significant advantage over similar anti-dandruff products such as zinc pyrithione (ZPT). It is easily soluble in ethanol (10%), soluble in aqueous solutions containing surfactants or ethanol/water mixtures (1%-10%), and slightly soluble in water (0.05%).
2.Compounding with cosmetic raw materials
It can be compounded with a variety of cationic surfactants (quaternary ammonium salts) and cationic active components, and this compounding can also increase its solubility. Its compounding property is better than other anti-dandruff and anti-itching agents such as ZPT, MDS, CLM, etc.

Efficacy and function:

1. The mechanism of anti-dandruff and anti-itching is to fundamentally block the external channels of dandruff production through bactericidal and antioxidant effects, thereby effectively curing dandruff and stopping itching, rather than temporarily eliminating dandruff from the surface through degreasing and other methods. It will not damage the hair while removing dandruff and stopping itching. The mechanism of anti-dandruff and anti-itching is that it can effectively inhibit bacteria, decompose peroxides, reduce the irritation of the scalp caused by peroxidation products, fundamentally block the external channels of dandruff production, and effectively cure dandruff and itching.
2. Good compounding performance
It is an anionic active component and can be mixed with a variety of cationic hair conditioners (such as polyquaternium salts), amphoteric surfactants or anionic surfactants without precipitation or stratification. In some cases, this compounding can also increase its solubility or increase its adsorption on hair. Compared with the blank group without adding compound, after adding 1% of CAPB (cocamidopropyl betaine), PQ-7 (polyquaternium-7), PQ-10 (polyquaternium-10) and PQ-11 (polyquaternium-11) to shampoo, the adsorption amount of this product on the hair increased significantly, and the deposition effect was significantly improved. And this deposition process is almost unaffected by the pH value of the product.

3. Good solubility
It can be dissolved in the surfactant system without affecting the transparency of the system.
4. Thickener
It has a thickening effect on the surfactant system, especially the system containing sodium laureth sulfate (AES). After use, no or less thickener can be added, which not only simplifies the production process, increases the stability of the product, especially the pearlescent or ammonium salt system shampoo, but also appropriately reduces the cost.

5. Irritation
It will not accumulate in the skin, and almost no percutaneous absorption will occur. It can be reduced with the metabolism of the skin, and the irritation is very small. The irritation to the skin and mucous membranes is not significantly increased compared with blank shampoo.
6. Broad-spectrum antibacterial property
It can effectively inhibit Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, molds, yeasts, etc. It can not only be used for dandruff and itching, but also can be used in a variety of system products, such as hand sanitizer, cream, soap, etc. Many manufacturers use it to replace preservatives to meet the market demand of "high efficiency, low irritation, and no preservatives".
7. High safety
All toxicity indicators are low, so it is safe to use. It is currently the only anti-dandruff and itching agent that can be used in resident hair products such as hair cream, hair gel, mousse and hair dye that can be retained on the hair scalp.
As a new type of anti-dandruff and antipruritic agent, it has significant anti-dandruff and antipruritic effects, excellent solubility and compounding performance, and no precipitation and stratification occurs after compounding. It has low irritation, good safety performance, and a certain thickening effect. It has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and has been widely used in personal care products.
