Uses：Octanohydroxamic acid is a highly safe organic acid with multiple functions, including antibacterial, bacteriostatic, moisturizing, and skin-softening effects, making it widely used in cosmetics and whitening products. It effectively inhibits Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeast, Propionibacterium acnes, and Staphylococcus aureus, providing a certain degree of efficacy in preventing and treating acne. The antibacterial performance of octyl hydroxamic acid in cosmetics is not affected by surfactants, proteins, and other additives, demonstrating good compatibility. It can be combined with alcohols and glycols and remains stable at both high and normal temperatures.
Furthermore, Octanohydroxamic acid can inhibit the essential active elements needed by mold, restrict the environment required for microbial growth, and help regulate the skin's self-repair functions. In addition to its application in cosmetics, it is also widely used in shampoos and body washes as an alternative to traditional preservatives. Octanohydroxamic acid maintains excellent antibacterial and bacteriostatic performance at a neutral pH level, making it an ideal component in preservative-free formulations. Its high chelating efficiency and broad compatibility make it the best bacteriostatic organic acid in cosmetics.
