Dehydroacetic acid

Other names: Dehydroacetic acid

Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)


Dehydroacetic acid, more commonly known as dehydroacetic acid, is an organic compound that has a wide range of applications in various industries. It is a preservative that is ideal for use in cosmetic and personal care products as it has antimicrobial properties. Thus, dehydroacetic acid is used for killing bacteria, yeast and fungi. This preservative also exhibits good stability at high temperatures, so it can be used in processes where high heat is required.

Dehydroacetic acid has become a popular preservative in many cosmetic products. For example, it is found in make-up, moisturizers, shampoos, deodorants and other personal care products. It is also often used in the food and beverage industry as an additive to extend the shelf life of products. Although both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Union have declared it safe, there is still debate about its safety in high concentrations or long-term use. Thus, it is always advisable to monitor the composition of cosmetic products and, if necessary, ask your dermatologist about the presence of certain ingredients.
