Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, also known as Polyamine-propyl-biguanidine, is a highly effective preservative system that is popular for its wide range of effects and its compatibility with surfactants. The flexible nature of this molecular compound allows it to interact with and destroy microorganisms. This makes Polyaminopropyl Biguanide ideal for killing bacteria, moulds and yeasts in a variety of products.

One of the most well-known uses of Polyaminopropyl Biguanide is in eye care products, particularly contact lens solutions. Due to its ability to eliminate microorganisms on the lens surface, it can improve wearing comfort and reduce the risk of infections. In addition, this preservative is often used in many cosmetic products such as creams, shampoos, shower gels and others. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties protect cosmetic products from contamination and extend their shelf life. In addition, it is also a component of some household products such as cleaners and disinfectants, where it serves to kill pathogenic organisms.
