Description
What is Climbazole?
Climbazole is a powerful antifungal ingredient from the imidazole family. It stops the growth of Malassezia fungi that cause dandruff, scalp itch, and flaking. You will find climbazole for shampoo in many anti-dandruff and medicated hair care products. It is also used at low levels as a preservative in creams and lotions. The 98% pure cosmetic grade gives you strong results with small amounts in your formula.
Why Formulators Use Climbazole
Powerful Anti-Dandruff Action
Climbazole delivers strong control over dandruff-causing fungi. It works consistently even in hard water areas common across Pakistan. Your customers get clean, itch-free hair after just a few washes.
Gentle on Scalp and Hair
Climbazole is milder than many older antifungal agents. It suits daily-use shampoos without causing dryness or irritation when used at the right level.
Works Well With Other Ingredients
Climbazole blends easily with common cosmetic raw materials. It pairs well with:
- Zinc Pyrithione (for extra dandruff power)
- Piroctone Olamine (for better scalp care)
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine (for foam and mildness)
- Sodium Chloride (for thickening)
- Citric Acid (to adjust pH)
Cost-Efficient at Scale
You need only small amounts of climbazole for big results. This keeps your formula cost low while giving professional anti-dandruff performance. As your production grows, the cost per bottle stays very reasonable.
How to Use Climbazole in Your Formulations
Handling Note:
Climbazole is a fine white powder. Wear a mask when handling to avoid breathing dust. It does not dissolve in cold water. Pre-dissolve it in a little ethanol or propylene glycol first. Or add it slowly to your warm surfactant phase at 40 to 60 degrees Celsius with steady stirring until it is fully clear. Do not heat above 70 degrees Celsius.
Extent of Use, By Type of Product:
| Product Type | Climbazole in Formula (by weight) |
| Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (standard) | 0.5% to 1.5% |
| Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (strong) | 1.0% to 2.0% |
| Scalp Treatment / Hair Lotion | 0.2% to 0.5% |
| Face Cream (as preservative) | 0.1% to 0.2% |
| Foot Care Cream | 0.1% to 0.2% |
Target pH:
For hair products, keep pH between 5.0 and 6.5. For skin products, keep pH between 5.0 and 6.0. Climbazole stays stable in the pH range of 4.0 to 7.0. Use citric acid to lower pH if needed.
