Iodopropynyl Butyl Carbamate (IPBC) is
a water-soluble preservative used globally in the paints & coatings, wood
preservatives, personal care, and cosmetics industries. IPBC is a member of
the carbamate family of biocides.[1] IPBC was
invented in the 1970s and has a long history of effective use as an antifungal
technology.
Detailed description
IPBC was initially developed for use in the paint
& coatings industry as a dry-film preservative to protect interior and
exterior coatings from mold, mildew, and fungal growth, while also offering
cost performance and sustainability benefits. IPBC exhibits efficacy against a
broad spectrum of fungal species, typically at very low use levels. IPBC today
is incorporated into a wide variety of interior and exterior paint formulations
around the world.
Use is restricted in some countries due to its
toxicity, especially acute inhalation toxicity. IPBC is also becoming
recognized as a contact allergen.[2]
IPBC is an effective fungicide at very low
concentrations in cosmetic and other products, and has shown very low
sensitivity in humans tested with this preservative. IPBC was approved in 1996
for use up to 0.1% concentrations in topical products and cosmetics. However,
this preservative is mostly found in cosmetics at about one-eighth that level
[Maier et al., 2009]. IPBC Toxicity and Safety Tests show it to be generally
safe: When used properly in leave-on skin products, IPBC is extremely safe
[Steinberg, 2002]. Previous to being approved for cosmetic use in 1996,
extensive safety and toxicity tests were conducted on IPBC and their results
were gathered along with earlier studies in a report of the Safety Assessment
of IPBC by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review [CIR Final Report, Lanigan 1998].
This final report found IPBC to be a non-carcinogen with no genotoxicity and in
reproductive and developmental toxicity studies using rats and mice, IPBC had
no significant effect on fertility, reproductive performance, or on the
incidence of fetal malformation [Lanigan, 1998].
