Hydroxyphenyl Dihydroxybenzamide

Product Description

Hydroxyphenyl Dihydroxybenzamide is a cutting-edge, biomimetic soothing active inspired by the specific avenanthramides (potent antioxidants) found in oat kernels. This specialized amide is engineered to provide immediate and long-lasting relief for hyper-reactive and sensitive skin. It works at a molecular level to inhibit the release of histamines and inflammatory mediators, effectively "switching off" the skin's irritation response. As a high-performance cosmetic raw material, it offers superior stability and purity compared to raw oat extracts, making it an essential commercial component for premium dermo-cosmetic "rescue" formulations and anti-allergic skincare lines.

Product Specification

• INCI Name: Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid (Note: This is the standardized INCI for this chemical structure)
• CAS No.: 697235-49-7
• Product Type: Anti-irritant / Soothing Agent / Anti-histamine Active
• Appearance: White to light yellow powder (also available in liquid solution)
• Purity (HPLC): ≥ 98.0%

• Recommended Usage: 0.1% – 2.0% (as pure powder) or 1.0% – 5.0% (as solution).

Key Benefits & Applications

• Fast-Acting Anti-Itch: Rapidly reduces itching sensations, significantly improving user comfort for those with dry, itchy, or eczema-prone skin.
• Advanced Redness Reduction: Effectively calms skin erythema and neurogenic inflammation caused by environmental stressors or harsh chemical treatments.
• Oat-Inspired Potency: Provides the concentrated soothing power of oats without the formulation challenges (cloudiness or microbial risk) of natural extracts.
• Broad Compatibility: Extremely effective at very low concentrations, allowing for cost-effective, high-claim-value formulations.
• Applications: High-end sensitive skin creams, scalp relief tonics, after-sun recovery lotions, post-procedure balms, and baby care products.

Formulation Guidelines

• Suggested Dosage: 0.5% – 2.0% in daily care; up to 5.0% for professional therapeutic products.
• pH Stability: Stable and active within a pH range of 3.0 – 8.0; optimal performance at pH 4.5 – 6.5.
• Processing: For powder form, pre-dissolve in a solvent like Pentylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol. Add to the formulation during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to prevent thermal degradation.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Phenolic structures can undergo slight color changes if exposed to air or high temperatures for extended periods.
• Synergy: Combine with Ceramide NP to create a dual-action system that both calms immediate irritation and repairs the skin's long-term protective barrier.
