Due to growing regulatory pressure and consumer demand for gentler ingredients, many manufacturers are phasing out MIT/CMIT (Methylisothiazolinone / Chloromethylisothiazolinone) from their formulations. PHMB is widely recognized as a milder, safer alternative that still delivers excellent microbial protection.
Whether you’re formulating for EU, US, or Asian markets, PHMB meets the safety and efficacy standards required for global compliance.
PHMB is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with excellent stability and low irritation, widely used in personal care, wound care, and hygiene products. In wet wipe formulations, PHMB has gained significant popularity thanks to its effectiveness against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, along with its exceptionally mild profile.
Recommended usage level: 0.05% – 0.3%
Effective pH range: 3.0 – 7.0
Formulation tips: Can be used alone or combined with other preservatives like phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, or ethylhexylglycerin to achieve synergistic effects and reduce total preservative load.
Here’s why so many wet wipes brands and manufacturers are switching to PHMB:
Broad-spectrum Antimicrobial ProtectionPHMB provides reliable protection against a wide range of microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and molds. This makes it an ideal choice for keeping wet wipes safe throughout their shelf life.
Safe for Sensitive ApplicationsPHMB is non-sensitizing, non-irritating, and non-toxic when used at recommended levels. It’s commonly found in baby wipes, feminine hygiene wipes, makeup remover wipes, and other sensitive skin applications. Unlike harsh preservatives, PHMB supports skin health rather than compromising it.
Water-soluble and Formulator-FriendlyPHMB is fully water-soluble and shows excellent compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, including surfactants, emollients, and humectants. It works well across typical pH ranges used in wet wipe formulations (pH 3.5–7.0), making it easy to integrate into existing or new product lines.
Cost-Effective with High PerformanceWhile “natural preservatives” often suffer from limited efficacy and high cost, PHMB offers a balanced solution—delivering broad-spectrum activity at a competitive price. For manufacturers looking to optimize both cost and performance, PHMB is a smart investment.
