Chlorphenesin is a synthetic preservative used in skin care as a cosmetic biocide. Most commonly, chlorphenesin is incorporated into cosmetics as a method of preventing bacteria contamination, which may help to prolong product quality and longevity. Although referred to as a cosmetic biocide, chlorphenesin may also be implemented in personal care products such as creams and lotions. In rinse-off products, concentrations of chlorphenesin can be found up to 0.32%, and in leave-on products up to 0.3%. 1
