Cosmetic Biocides are ingredients used in cosmetic products to help cleanse the skin or prevent odor by inhibiting the growth of, or destroying microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi or yeast.
The cosmetic biocides listed below may be cidal or static. Cidal agents kill microbiota and act as disinfectants. Static agents inhibit the growth of microorganisms but do not kill them. Ingredients used primarily for the protection of products against contamination are found in the listing of Preservatives. Ingredients used as active ingredients in OTC drug products which are intended to kill bacteria, fungi or yeast in order to treat, prevent or mitigate diseases are included in the listing of Antimicrobial Agents. |
