Usage Recommendations      

• Climbazole possesses broad-spectrum antifungal properties, with a unique effect against Malassezia furfur (formerly Pityrosporum ovale), the primary fungus responsible for human dandruff. It also significantly inhibits Candida albicans, which causes oral gingivitis and periodontitis. As a result, it is widely used in rinse-off products such as shampoos, body washes, soaps, medicated soaps, and therapeutic toothpaste, making it an important functional additive in the daily chemical industry.
• Climbazole offers excellent quality, cost-effectiveness, safety, and good compatibility. Shampoos formulated with it do not suffer from issues such as precipitation, stratification, discoloration, or skin irritation. It has become the preferred anti-itch and anti-dandruff agent in mid-to-high-end shampoos. The recommended usage concentration is 0.4% to 0.8%.
• Due to the wide variation in ingredients and formulations of personal care products, which may affect efficacy, we strongly recommend testing the effectiveness and stability of climbazole before full-scale production.
