- Abstract
The article presents a study on contact sensitivity to Kathon® CG, a biocide, which is increasingly used as a preservative for cosmetics and toiletry products. Eight cases of contact dermatitis to Kathon® CG have been taken for reference. In six of them, the positive reactions were considered relevant because of the use of cosmetics creams containing the biocide. Positive reactions to kathon ® CG 100ppm aq. were detected positive. Kathon CG consists of two active ingredients, one of the which, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, has been identified as the main sensitizer.
