Triclosan, 1 kg

Reliable Antimicrobial Agent for Personal Care and Industrial Formulations

Triclosan is a chlorinated organic compound valued for its broad antimicrobial and antifungal action, and it remains one of the most requested raw materials across several industries worldwide. The strongest global demand comes from manufacturers of toothpaste, antibacterial hand soap, deodorants, household cleaning products, antimicrobial textiles such as sportswear and socks, and plastic goods like cutting boards, appliance handles and children's toys that require long-lasting surface protection. In the catalog this raw material belongs to the Biocides section, which gathers substances responsible for microbiological stability of finished goods.

Within cosmetic manufacturing, triclosan is added to toothpaste, mouthwash, acne treatments, antiperspirants and facial cleansers because it suppresses growth of a wide range of bacteria and certain fungi. Household chemical producers rely on it to give antimicrobial properties to dish soaps, surface sprays and laundry detergents. The textile industry treats sportswear, socks, bedding and medical fabrics with the compound to reduce odor-causing bacteria, while plastics manufacturers introduce it during compounding to achieve products with durable antimicrobial surface protection.

Typical working concentrations in finished formulas range from 0.1 to 0.3 percent, though exact dosage depends on the product type and the regulatory requirements of the country where it will be sold, so it is worth checking current local legislation before scaling up any recipe. The compound is normally added at the final production stage, after the bulk mixture has cooled to no more than 40-45 degrees, to avoid degradation of the active substance under prolonged heat exposure. Triclosan is compatible with most surfactants, preservatives and thickeners used in cosmetic and household formulations and remains stable across a wide pH range of the finished product.

The 1 kg package suits small laboratories and studio-scale manufacturers testing new formulations in limited batches before moving toward larger production, as well as mid-sized businesses that need a steady, manageable supply of raw material without overstocking. When developing skin care formulas, triclosan is often paired with ingredients that support skin and hair strength, such as L-Proline, which supports collagen synthesis, along with L-Glutamine and Alanine-amino acid, both commonly included in complex formulas for blemish-prone skin alongside antibacterial agents.

Store triclosan in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, and keep it away from open flame and strong oxidizing agents. Personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles is recommended when handling the raw powder, and weighing should be carried out in a well-ventilated space.

Antibacterial Foot Cream, 450 g batch

Distilled water 280 g

Shea butter 60 g

Cetyl alcohol 20 g

Glycerin 20 g

L-Glutamine 3 g

Alanine-amino acid 3 g

Triclosan 1 g

Tea tree essential oil 2 g

Heat the water phase and combine the shea butter with cetyl alcohol in a separate container, warming both to around 70 degrees before slowly blending the oil phase into the water phase under steady stirring until a stable emulsion forms. Cool the mixture to about 40 degrees, then stir in glycerin, L-Glutamine and alanine until fully incorporated. Once the temperature drops below 40 degrees, add triclosan and tea tree oil, mix until smooth, and transfer into clean, tightly sealed jars for storage.
