Ciba's introduction to triclosan

Ciba introduced triclosan because years of testing and use have proven that triclosan is harmless to humans and the environment.Ciba has characterized triclosan as a highly effective, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that works in a complex way by inhibiting arachidonic acid, the main chemical that causes inflammation.In general, Yujiexin DP300 greatly reduces inflammatory mediators, that is, has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can significantly reduce the recurrence of oral ulcers. When used in personal care products and personal cleaning products, it can resist external bacteria from invading the skin and oral cavity, reduce inflammation of inflected tissues and accelerate the healing of damaged skin and mucous membrane.

Ciba identifies triclosan as having seven properties:

1. Efficient broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, which can kill gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi;

2. High temperature resistance and alkali hydrolysis resistance, stable storage;

3. Good affinity for skin, with long-lasting bactericidal properties;

4. It has anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, and can reduce the irritation of other formula components on the skin (synergistic effect);

5. It is gentle to the skin and does not stain the skin;

6. It is easy to mix and has good compatibility with common components in the formula of sanitary or disinfection products;

7. Effectively kill harmful bacteria in the mouth and promote ulcer healing.
