Zinc pyrithione 1 L

Zinc Pyrithione aqueous dispersion active ingredient for cosmetic formulations

Zinc Pyrithione in viscous liquid form is a stabilized aqueous dispersion of a zinc complex derived from pyrithione. The compound belongs to a class of coordination complexes widely used in cosmetic formulations due to its stability and compatibility with water based systems.

The raw material appears as a thick white or milky suspension. The dispersion form allows uniform distribution of the active ingredient in formulations and simplifies incorporation into cosmetic systems.

Properties and skin performance

In cosmetic formulations zinc pyrithione dispersion contributes to stable product texture and uniform distribution of the active component.

Industry applications

Zinc pyrithione dispersion is used in shampoos, conditioners and scalp care formulations. It is also incorporated into cleansing products and cosmetic lotions.

Formula example scalp care shampoo

Zinc Pyrithione dispersion 18 g
Cocamidopropyl betaine 130 g
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate 100 g
Glycerin 40 g
Panthenol 5 g
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride 3 g
Purified water 800 ml
Preservative system 2 g

Guar polymer is dispersed in purified water to form the base. Glycerin and panthenol are incorporated while mixing continues. Surfactants are then added to form the shampoo base. Zinc pyrithione dispersion is introduced and mixed until evenly distributed. The preservative system is added and mixing continues until uniform. The pH is adjusted to a level suitable for formulation stability. The final product forms a homogeneous scalp care shampoo.

Zinc Pyrithione dispersion is widely used by B2B cosmetic manufacturers developing scalp care formulations. The ingredient provides formulation stability and reproducible performance in scalable industrial production.
