Piroctol KC

Piroctol KC is a anti-dandruff & scalp care agent. It is very effective in treating dandruff and preventing hair loss. It has antifungal properties and limits the growth of Malassezia furfur fungus, which is the cause of dandruff. It is highly soluble in surfactant systems and contributes to the viscosity of the formulation. Until recently, the most commonly used ingredient to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis was zinc pyrithione. However, as zinc pytithione has been designated as a CMR subbstance of category 1B (toxic for reproduction), Piroctol KC has become the best alternative. It is used mainly in anti-dandruff shampoo and also in other hair care formulations as well as anti-acne formulations.
