Talk:Chlorphenesin carbamate

Wrong Name or Wrong Properties
This Page is called Chlorophenesin but the chemical properties section is for Chlorophenesin Carbamate, only one can be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.170.113 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2010 (UTC) As stated in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook,1 chlorphenesin functions as a biocide in cosmetic products. The cosmetic ingredient, chlorphenesin (CAS No. 104-29-0) is been confused with the muscle relaxant drug, chlorphenesin carbamate (CAS No. 886-74-8), which has also been known as chlorphenesin. Chlorphenesin carbamate is not a cosmetic ingredient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.116.194.187 (talk) 15:05, 12 October 2016 (UTC)


 * This acticle blends both Chlorphenesin and Chlorphenesin carbamate so is very misleading. Chlorphenesin is a commonly used broad spectrum cosmetic preservative used in many oil in water emulsion type emulsions with final pH values in the range of 3 - 9 pH units. It is heat-resistant and has a good skin tolerance. Indeed, due to its wide spectrum of action in an optimal pH range of 3 to 9 (active on Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and moulds), it is widely used as a preservative in cosmetic products as well as in the pharmaceutical field.
