Climbazole — powder, Global — MakeYourSkin

About this material

Climbazole is an Anti-dandruff active supplied by MakeYourSkin as powder / liquid depending grade for professional cosmetic formulation. Used worldwide across mainstream cosmetic formulation, it is valued for scalp flake control.

What is Climbazole?

Climbazole is supplied under the INCI / technical name Climbazole and carries CAS number 38083-17-9.

It belongs to the Anti-dandruff active group and is available from synthetic, nature-identical, botanical or biotech routes depending on the grade ordered. The material reaches you as powder / liquid depending grade. It is an established cosmetic raw material with mature supply and well-understood formulation behaviour.

Key Properties & Benefits

  • Scalp flake control
  • Supplied cosmetic grade with a Certificate of Analysis for every batch.

Uses & Applications

Climbazole is used in scalp serums, hair tonics, pre-wash oils, shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments and hair masks.

Typical applications from the catalogue record: Scalp serums, tonics, shampoos, conditioners.

In hair care it is split between rinse-off systems, where substantivity decides how much survives the rinse, and leave-on scalp serums and tonics, where the full dose stays on the scalp.

How to Use — Recommended Use Level

Typical use level 0.1–0.5% subject to market limits
Recommended pH 4.0–7.0
Addition phase Pre-dissolve in glycol / oil
Solubility Soluble in ethanol and in polar solvents; limited water solubility. Pre-dissolve in alcohol, glycol or a solubiliser before addition.

General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Regulatory Note

Climbazole is restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III with different maxima by product type (broadly 0.5% in rinse-off hair products and lower levels in leave-on face and body products). Levels permitted in other markets differ. Verify the current limit for your exact format.

Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

Disclaimer & Caution in Use

For external cosmetic use in professionally formulated products only. This is a concentrated raw material, not a finished cosmetic, and it is not intended for undiluted application to skin, for ingestion, or for any medicinal purpose. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling, avoid raising dust with powders, and keep out of reach of children and pets. Always run a patch test on the finished formulation, and validate stability, compatibility, pH and preservative efficacy before sale. Information supplied is offered in good faith as formulation guidance and does not constitute a safety assessment, a regulatory approval or a medical claim.

Fine powder — avoid generating and inhaling dust. Use local exhaust ventilation or a suitable respirator when weighing, and wet the powder into the formulation phase rather than dry-blending in open air.

How to work with it

1 Check the phase before you weigh

The specification's Add at row is the one to read first. Water-phase materials added to a hot oil phase are the most common reason a batch separates.

2 Hold the pH inside the stated range

Measure the finished product, not the premix. Outside the range the activity drops away and, for some materials, the degradation route is what causes complaints.

3 Start at the bottom of the use level

Then work up through stability and compatibility testing. Higher is not better, and the destination market's limit may sit below your formulation ceiling.
