Anti-Microbial & Anti Fungal Agents Amjad and zararNuc
At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we specialize in supplying high-performance anti-microbial and anti-fungal agents used in personal care, home care, pharmaceutical, textile, and industrial formulations. These agents are essential for preserving product integrity, extending shelf life, and protecting users from harmful microbes, fungi, and mold. Our carefully selected range offers both natural and synthetic options to meet international safety and efficacy standards.
What Are Anti-Microbial Agents?
Anti-microbial agents are substances that inhibit the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. They are widely used in skincare, sanitizers, disinfectants, wound-care products, and even packaging materials to reduce contamination. These agents work through various mechanisms, such as disrupting cell walls or inhibiting microbial enzymes. At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we provide a range of broad-spectrum anti-microbials suited for both water-based and oil-based systems.
What Are Anti-Fungal Agents?
Anti-fungal agents specifically target fungal organisms such as yeasts and moulds. These are especially important in humid climates and moisture-prone products like creams, shampoos, and lotions. Our anti-fungal ingredients are designed for use in both leave-on and rinse-off formulations and are tested for compatibility with modern preservative systems. They also play a crucial role in protecting surfaces, textiles, and personal care formulations from fungal degradation.
CHEMICALS WE ARE OFFER
Lauric Acid
Lauric Acid is a saturated fatty acid naturally found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is widely used in personal care for its cleansing and foaming properties. Lauric acid exhibits antimicrobial activity, making it effective in acne-care formulations. It is a common ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and body washes. In skincare, it helps reduce skin irritation and infections. It also acts as a precursor for surfactants used in cosmetic products.
Climbazole
Climbazole is an antifungal agent primarily used in anti-dandruff shampoos and scalp treatments. It is effective against Malassezia species, which are responsible for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. This ingredient helps restore scalp health by reducing itchiness and flaking. It is often combined with zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole for enhanced results. Climbazole is gentle on the skin and suitable for long-term use. It ensures hair remains clean, healthy, and free from dandruff.
Triclosan
Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antibacterial compound used in soaps, deodorants, and toothpaste. It prevents bacterial growth on the skin and reduces body odor. In oral care, it helps control plaque and gingivitis. Although effective, its use has declined due to safety concerns and regulatory restrictions. In cosmetics, it is now being replaced with safer natural alternatives. Despite this, it remains recognized for its strong antibacterial efficiency.
Methyl Salicylate
Methyl Salicylate, commonly known as wintergreen oil, is used in topical analgesics and pain-relief balms. It provides a warming sensation that soothes muscle and joint pain. This ingredient is also used in dental products for flavoring. In cosmetics, it appears in sports creams and massage oils. However, it must be used in controlled amounts due to its high potency. It remains a trusted component in traditional and modern pain-relief formulations.
Zinc Pyrithione 48%
Zinc Pyrithione is an antifungal and antibacterial agent widely used in anti-dandruff shampoos. It effectively reduces scalp flaking, itchiness, and irritation. Beyond haircare, it is used in soaps, creams, and body washes for its antimicrobial properties. It works by disrupting fungal cell membranes and preventing microbial growth. The 48% concentration is used as a raw material for formulating end products. It is considered safe when used within cosmetic guidelines.
Selenium Sulfide
Selenium Sulfide is another powerful anti-dandruff and anti-fungal ingredient. It is especially effective in treating severe dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea versicolor. It reduces scalp flaking by slowing down the turnover of skin cells. Commonly found in medicated shampoos, it provides fast and visible results. However, prolonged use must be monitored to avoid scalp irritation. It remains an essential component in therapeutic haircare solutions.
