DEKABEN DHA is a pure grade of Dehydroacetic Acid (DHA), meant for personal care products. As the efficacy of DEKABEN DHA is focussed on fungi, the activity can be maximised by combining it with typical bactericides. DEKABEN DHA profits from a broad global approval, an excellent toxicology profile, and (in comparison to other organic acids) from a wider pH range. It is listed as authorised preservative in the COSMOS and NATRUE standard, and is halal certified.
