Overview of Dehydroacetic Acid

Dehydroacetic Acid is a common preservative and antimicrobial agent that is useful in personal care and home care products because it works well against bacteria and fungi. It looks like a white to off-white crystalline powder, and it is known for being stable over a wide range of pH levels, which makes it good for many different formulation systems.

Dehydroacetic Acid is often used in personal care products like creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, and cosmetic emulsions to keep them safe, stop microbes from growing, and make them last longer. To get broad-spectrum protection, it is often mixed with other preservatives like Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, and Potassium Sorbate.

Dehydroacetic Acid helps keep liquid cleaners, fabric care products, and special household products that need to control microbes in home care applications. It works well with modern, mild-preservation systems because it has a low smell and is compatible with other products.

ChemicalBull sells high-quality Dehydroacetic Acid that is good for making cosmetics and home care products. It always works well, is always pure, and is always available.
