Abstract
Chlorhexidine and its salts are reported as being used in cosmetics as an active ingredient to give the desired effect or as a preservative in concentrations of up to 0.3 %. Such products include mouthwashes, hair dying and bleaching formulations, shampoos, anti hair “aging” products and exfoliants, body lotions, eye creams, face cleansers, sun cream, after-sun lotions, eye makeup removers, and facial masks. Within the health sector, chlorhexidine is used in formulations for preoperative skin disinfection, in treatment of wounds and burns, for urinary bladder flushing, for catheter disinfection, and in ophthalmology and gynaecology. The commonly used concentrations in medical products range from 0.05 to 4 %. In cosmetic products, chlorhexidine is commonly used in combination with other agents with antimicrobial activity in order to improve the biocidal effect.
 
Klorheksidin og salt av klorheksidin vert brukte i kosmetikk enten som aktiv ingrediens som skal gi ynskt effekt eller som konserveringsmiddel i konsentrasjonar på opp til 0,3 %. Slike kosmetiske produkt inkluderer munnskyljevatn, midlar for farging eller bleiking av hår, sjampoar, midlar mot ”håraldring”, hudskrubbepodukt, hudlotionar, kosmetiske augekremar, anletsrensarar, solkremar, ettersolingskremar, augesminkefjernarar og ansiktsmasker. Innan helsesektoren vert klorheksidin nytta i legemidlar for preoperativ huddesinfeksjon, ved handsaming av mekaniske sår og brannsår, ved urinblæreskylling og i kateterdesinfeksjon. Dessutan er klorheksidin brukt innan oftalmologi og gynekologi. Vanlege konsentrasjonar i medisinske produkt er frå 0,05 to 4 %. I kosmetiske produkt vert klorheksidin ofte nytta saman med andre antimikrobielle stoff for å gi auka antimikrobiell effekt.
