Answer
Adding Pure-Naringin™ to Chloroxylenol Hand Gel
Regarding your questions about adding 1% Pure-Naringin™ to a Hand Gel Base containing 0.25% Chloroxylenol:
Effect on Disinfectant Effectiveness: The product descriptions available do not indicate that Pure-Naringin™ would reduce the disinfectant effectiveness of Chloroxylenol. Chloroxylenol at a concentration of 0.25% is generally considered effective for disinfection. However, when combining different ingredients, it is always recommended to perform compatibility testing to ensure the overall stability and efficacy of the final formulation are not compromised.
Suspension of Naringin: According to the product information for Pure-Naringin™, it cannot dissolve completely in formulations. It must be dispersed and suspended within the base. Therefore, the Hand Gel Base needs to have sufficient viscosity to keep the Naringin particles evenly distributed and prevent them from settling or precipitating over time.
In summary, while Naringin is not expected to directly counteract Chloroxylenol's disinfectant action based on available information, its solubility characteristics mean your gel base must be viscous enough to maintain its suspension.
