BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE
Benzalkonium Chloride is a common ingredient in many cosmetic and personal care products due to its effectiveness as a cleansing agent, preservative, and surfactant. It has the chemical formula of C17H30ClN and is typically used in concentrations of 0.1% to 0.13%. As a surfactant, Benzalkonium Chloride helps to reduce surface tension and allows for easier spreading and mixing of cosmetic ingredients. Products with Benzalkonium Chloride can include cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, and other personal care items. However, some people may be sensitive to this ingredient and may experience skin irritation or other adverse reactions.
