"Isopropyl methylphenol" is an isomer of thymol (the main component of the essential oil of Lamiaceae plants), which has been widely used in household medicines for a long time, but its properties were not well known. In 1953, an industrial method for producing "iso propyl methylphenol" was developed, and research on its antibacterial and antioxidant properties was conducted. Its favorable physical properties, excellent efficacy, and mild action characteristics were recognized, and it is now widely used in pharmaceuticals (over-the-counter), quasi-drugs, cosmetics, and industrial fields. 【Features】 ○ Low odor, low taste ○ Low irritation, non-sensitizing ○ Broad-spectrum antibacterial properties ○ UV absorption and antioxidant properties ○ High stability and high safety For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
