Ingredients for Antibacterial/Antiviral Shower Cream

For shower cream formulations aiming to reduce bacteria and potentially viruses, you can consider ingredients with antimicrobial properties. Based on the search, two relevant ingredients are:

• Odor-Kill DO™: This ingredient contains Octenidine Dihydrochloride, known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, effective against odor-causing bacteria. It can be used in various product types, including cleansing formulas.
• Preserve-Free CE85™: This blend offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, effective against bacteria, yeast, and mold fungi. It is suitable for use in shower gels and shampoos.

These ingredients primarily target bacteria and fungi for preservation and hygiene purposes. While some ingredients with antibacterial properties might also have some effect on certain viruses, specific antiviral efficacy would typically require dedicated testing or different types of active ingredients. Always perform challenge tests to ensure the effectiveness of the chosen ingredient in your specific formulation.
