Do you want to know if your cosmetic products comply with Annex II of REG 1223/2009?
Zinc Pyrithione is the coordination complex of Zinc and Pyrithione, a derivative of the naturally occurring antibiotic aspergillic acid, with antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-seborrheic effects. It is an active ingredient widely used in the past in cosmetic shampoo for its antifungine and anti- dandruff activity.
The use of Zinc Pyrithione in cosmetics (principally shampoos, but also other hair and, more rarely, skin products) is not allowed anymore in Europe, and all the cosmetic products containing Zinc Pyrithione had to be removed from the market, or not to be placed on the market furthermore.
Neotron performs the analysis of Zinc Pyrithione according through an internal method.
