When it comes to choosing a preservative or disinfectant for your personal care or home care formulation, PHMB (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide) stands out as a versatile, broad-spectrum antimicrobial ingredient. But with options like PHMB 20% solution or PHMB powder, cosmetic grade vs. industrial grade, and varying purity levels, how do you make the right buying decision?
This PHMB procurement guide is designed to help manufacturers, formulators, and sourcing teams understand the differences between available forms and grades of PHMB, evaluate supplier reliability, and make informed purchasing decisions for bulk supply or formulation use.
PHMB, short for Polyhexamethylene Biguanide, is a cationic polymer disinfectant and preservative known for its excellent safety profile, high stability, and effectiveness at low concentrations. It’s widely used in:
Personal care products (facial mist, micellar water, wet wipes)
Feminine hygiene and baby care
Home care formulations (disinfectant sprays, fabric sprays)
Wound irrigation and medical rinses
PHMB works by disrupting microbial cell membranes, providing long-lasting antimicrobial protection.
Most common commercial form
Water-based and easy to incorporate
Requires cold chain or stability management in long-term storage
Used in liquid formulations like disinfectant sprays, skincare mists, micellar water
High-purity raw material
Lower transportation cost, longer shelf life
Suitable for formulating concentrated products or for re-dilution at your site
Ideal for powder-format or anhydrous products
Recommendation: For routine liquid formulations, choose PHMB 20% solution. If you need stock concentration, high-purity, or are manufacturing overseas, PHMB powder may be more economical.
Meets purity and safety specifications for skin contact
Used in baby wipes, facial cleansers, feminine hygiene, etc.
Comes with COA, MSDS, and regulatory support (INCI registration, REACH compliance)
Often used in surface sprays, textiles, or public space sanitation
May tolerate higher microbial content or impurities
Ideal for non-skin-contact formulations
Important: Always ask your supplier for COA and technical data to ensure the grade matches your intended use.
Purity Level: Confirm if the product is PHMB 20% solution, or a high-purity powder (95-98%).
Application Fit: Choose cosmetic grade for personal care; industrial grade for surfaces and fabrics.
Document Availability: Check for COA, TDS, MSDS, and regional registration support (e.g., REACH, ASEAN).
Stability & Packaging: PHMB solution requires airtight containers; powder is more stable.
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Small MOQ for sampling, bulk packaging (25kg, 200kg) for production.
