Description and Uses

Hexamidine diisethionate (HEX D) is an organic salt form of Hexamidine, which has been used as an antimicrobial agent in the personal care industry and in a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) products. For example, 0.05% HEX D solution (Keratosept?) is a new antimicrobial drop for the treatment of eye infections and is better tolerated than povidone iodine. In personal care, Hexamidine has adverse reactions such as photosensitivity and contact allergy. Therefore, the European safety assessment recommends that the content of HEX D in leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics should not exceed 0.1%[1-2].

Hexamidinediisethionate is a preservative in topical preparations and also in skin health and personal care products.
