Question
Posted on: January 21 2015A shampoo with chlorhexidine 1% in basic shampoo simplex 200ml does not succeed
We only have chlorhexidine digluconate or acetate; Chlorhexidine base is not available. Is there a solution?
Answer
Plantapon 611 C contains both an anionic, an amphoteric and a non-Ionogen tenside. In the presence of chlorhexidine Digluc or Diacet. The first two are out of the question. It could be considered to prepare a shampoo with Tween 80. One should test out a small amount or a 30% Tween 80 solution in water sufficiently foams. A product like Comperlan KD or even better OD can be added as eg in the original formula of shampoo simplex (see Galenic Formularium)
