KATHON™ CG is a highly effective, globally approved preservative system designed for rinse-off personal care products. It offers exceptional antimicrobial protection, helping extend shelf life and protect formulations from contamination. Thanks to its broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, yeast, and mold, it ensures product integrity and consumer safety, even at very low usage rates.

Key Features & Benefits

Effective at Low Dosages
KATHON™ CG is effective at a use level of just 0.06% to 0.10%, making it a cost-effective choice for manufacturers. Despite the low inclusion rate, it delivers powerful protection against microbial growth.

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection
This preservative system fights a wide range of bacteria, molds, and yeasts—helping ensure your product remains stable, clean, and safe during use.

Unlike many chemical preservatives, KATHON™ CG biodegrades rapidly, does not bioaccumulate, and is not persistent in the environment, making it a more sustainable choice.

No Formaldehyde, No Odor or Color
KATHON™ CG does not release formaldehyde, nor does it impart any odor or discoloration to your finished products. This helps maintain the purity, appearance, and scent of your original formulation.
