Ive never heard of Benzalkonium Chloride. What is it, and why use it instead of the more standard, common actives such as Alcohol, CHG and Triclosan?
Benzalkonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium surfactant used as a topical anti-infective agent. Our chemists were able to take this active ingredient and provide a single formulation that simultaneously eliminates microorganisms, improves skin condition, maintains intact skin and remains effective for hours after application; this is the MicroDerm technology.
