Product Description
Piroctone Olamine (CAS 68890-66-4): Superior Anti-Dandruff and Cosmetic Ingredient
Piroctone Olamine, identified by its CAS number 68890-66-4, is a high-performance, multi-functional active ingredient widely celebrated for its exceptional anti-dandruff properties. Commonly known by its trade name Octopirox®, it is the ethanolamine salt of the hydroxamic acid derivative Piroctone.
Unlike traditional anti-dandruff agents, Piroctone Olamine offers a unique combination of efficacy, safety, and formulation flexibility. It is a powerful antifungal agent specifically targeting Malassezia globosa (formerly Pityrosporum ovale), the primary microorganism responsible for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended usage level of Piroctone Olamine?
Typical usage levels vary by application:
• Anti-dandruff Shampoos (Rinse-off): 0.5% - 1.0%
• Hair Tonics (Leave-on): 0.05% - 0.1%
• Preservative: 0.1% - 0.5%
• Deodorants: 0.1% - 0.3%

• Preservative: 0.1% - 0.5%
• Deodorants: 0.1% - 0.3%
How does Piroctone Olamine compare to Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT)?
Piroctone Olamine is considered superior due to better solubility, easier formulation, superior environmental profile, and ability to create crystal-clear products unlike opaque ZPT dispersions.
Is Piroctone Olamine safe for long-term use?
Yes. Extensively studied and recognized as safe and non-irritating at recommended concentrations, well-tolerated even by sensitive scalps.
How do I dissolve Piroctone Olamine in formulations?
Pre-dissolve in surfactant blend or co-solvent (ethanol, propylene glycol) with gentle heating around 40°C before adding to main batch.
Can Piroctone Olamine create clear gel shampoos?
Absolutely. Its solubility allows creation of completely transparent anti-dandruff shampoos, a key advantage over insoluble agents.
What is the shelf life and storage recommendation?
Minimum 3-year shelf life when stored in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in original unopened container.
