We supply Hexamidine Diisethionate cosmetic grade as INNO Hexamidine Diisethionate, a cosmetic-grade specialty antimicrobial ingredient for scalp care, blemish care and preservation support.
Key Benefits of Hexamidine Diisethionate
- Hexamidine Diisethionate is a highly water-soluble antimicrobial for shampoo, scalp serum, toner, gel and light emulsion formats. It works at a low level and is easy to distribute through water-based systems.
- In scalp care, it targets Malassezia associated with dandruff and itching. It is designed for anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp-treatment products that need focused microbial control.
- In blemish and oil-control products, it targets Cutibacterium acnes and helps reduce the microbial contribution to clogged, inflamed skin. The mild profile suits sensitive blemish-prone skin.
- The material also contributes broad control of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and mold. It can strengthen a streamlined preservation system and reduce pressure on other preservatives.
- Its combination of low use level, water solubility and targeted antimicrobial performance makes it suitable for scalp care, blemish care, wet wipes and hand-wash products.
Recommended applications
- Use Hexamidine Diisethionate in anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp serum when the formulation targets Malassezia-related flakes and itching.
- It fits blemish-care serum, toner and cream designed for oil control and focused support against Cutibacterium acnes.
- In light lotion and gel, the high water solubility allows easy incorporation at a low level without adding an oily carrier.
- The grade can also strengthen wet-wipe, hand-wash and streamlined preservation systems that need broader bacterial, yeast and mold control.

Frequently asked questions
Can Hexamidine Diisethionate replace the entire preservation system?
Do not treat it as an automatic full-system replacement. Use it for its targeted antimicrobial contribution, then complete the preservation design around the formula risk, package and challenge-test performance.
How should Hexamidine Diisethionate be qualified in a water-based formula?
Confirm complete dissolution and compatibility with the full water phase, polymers and surfactants before final viscosity adjustment. Then check color, clarity and precipitation through the planned stability cycle.
How should a finished scalp or blemish formula containing Hexamidine Diisethionate be substantiated?
Test the marketed formula against the intended microbial and consumer-use endpoints. Keep preservation challenge testing separate from scalp or blemish efficacy work, because those studies answer different product questions.
