Wrong Name or Wrong Properties

[edit]

This Page is called Chlorophenesin but the chemical properties section is for Chlorophenesin Carbamate, only one can be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.170.113 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2010 (UTC) As stated in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook,1 chlorphenesin functions as a biocide in cosmetic products. The cosmetic ingredient, chlorphenesin (CAS No. 104-29-0) is been confused with the muscle relaxant drug, chlorphenesin carbamate (CAS No. 886-74-8), which has also been known as chlorphenesin. Chlorphenesin carbamate is not a cosmetic ingredient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.116.194.187 (talk) 15:05, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This acticle blends both Chlorphenesin and Chlorphenesin carbamate so is very misleading. Chlorphenesin is a commonly used broad spectrum cosmetic preservative used in many oil in water emulsion type emulsions with final pH values in the range of 3 - 9 pH units. It is heat-resistant and has a good skin tolerance. Indeed, due to its wide spectrum of action in an optimal pH range of 3 to 9 (active on Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and moulds), it is widely used as a preservative in cosmetic products as well as in the pharmaceutical field.
