Description
Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the most effective treatments for acne. While highly effective, traditional forms of Benzoyl Peroxide can cause skin irritation. Curoxyl® 42 is a patented, aqueous based, micronized benzoyl peroxide dispersion (40%) in the form of a gel. Curoxyl® 42 can be the starting point for topically applied acne creams, acne wipes, facial cleansers and medicated pet shampoo formulations.
Typical BPO particles are larger than the pore itself. The micronized Curoxyl® 42 particles allow the BPO to penetrate pores to attack P. acnes bacteria. Once Curoxyl® 42 has made contact with the bacteria, the oxidizing effect of the particle eliminates bacteria.
Key Benefits:
- Smaller BPO particle than traditional BPO, which allows for a smoother application and greater potential for efficacy.
- Proven to be a Non-Primary Irritant and Non-Primary Sensitizer to human skin.
- No milling or dispersing needed
- Manufactured in a FDA certified, cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) facility.
- Complies with USP Benzoyl Peroxide Gel monograph
- Not restricted for transportation purposes per DOT approval
