    Application & Dosage
    Capryl hydroxamic Acid [CHA] is a bactericide and ample spectrum anti-fungal agent.
    Capryl hydroxamic Acid is a preservative and broad-spectrum anti-fungal agent. CHA,
    unlike many other more common preservatives, is very effective at neutral pH levels. It is
    also a chelating agent of iron ions; low-iron environments show lower levels of mold
    growth. Capryl hydroxamic Acid is reported to be used in 227 formulations at maximum
    leave-on and rinse-off concentrations of 0.25% and 0.3%, respectively.

    Stability & Storage
    Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight.

    Applications
    Cosmetic addictive, Preservative booster & fixative, Deodarant active
