Detergent & Home Care Chemicals
Climbazole, with the chemical name 1-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, is an effective antifungal agent, particularly against Malassezia globosa and Candida albicans, which cause dandruff. In anti-dandruff shampoos, it inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, thus exerting its antifungal effect. Its stability under light and heat makes it suitable for various hair care products, and its low toxicity contributes to its widespread use in household cleaning products.
