used in cosmetics for several purposes, primarily due to its antimicrobial, astringent, and stabilizing properties

Zinc chloride is used in cosmetics for several purposes, primarily due to its antimicrobial, astringent, and stabilizing properties. Here are some of its main uses:

1. Antimicrobial Agent: Zinc chloride helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in cosmetic formulations, thereby prolonging the shelf life of the product and reducing the risk of skin infections. Zinc chloride is also very effective against P.Acnes

2. Astringent: It has mild astringent properties, which can help tighten the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. This is particularly useful in products like toners and facial treatments.

3. Stabilizing Agent: Zinc chloride is sometimes added to formulations to stabilize emulsions and maintain the consistency of products like creams and lotions.

4. Deodorants: Zinc chloride is also used in deodorants due to its ability to reduce or neutralize odor-causing bacteria.

5. Oral Care Products: It is often found in mouthwashes and toothpaste, as it helps reduce bad breath by eliminating bacteria in the mouth.
