Ingredients Analysis (14 found)

benzethonium chloride

⚠️4/10

For adults: this ingredient is used as a skin disinfectant and is often safe when it’s in products made to the right strength. However, it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people, and some governments limit how it can be used.

Banned - This ingredient faces formal limits in some countries. Health Canada and Japan impose restrictions or prohibitions for certain cosmetic uses, and an industry safety panel recommends safe concentration limits depending on where the product is applied. These regulatory actions mean some uses are limited by officials and safety reviewers.

Fertility - Animal studies on related quaternary ammonium compounds showed reduced fertility and reproductive effects in mice at moderate doses. These peer‑reviewed laboratory studies raise real concerns about effects on reproductive systems in mammals.

Hormones - Laboratory research has linked quaternary ammonium compounds like this one to interference with hormone‑related biology (for example, blocking steps in cholesterol and steroid production). That kind of interference is a form of endocrine disruption and can change how hormones work.

Immune system - Reviews and human exposure reports note limited but real evidence of immune and allergic reactions, including respiratory sensitivities, after exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds. That means some people may have allergy or immune responses to products containing this ingredient.

Asthma - There is limited human and review evidence that exposure to this class of disinfectant chemicals can affect the airways and worsen breathing issues. Health and toxicology reports flagged respiratory effects after exposure, so people with asthma or breathing problems may be more at risk.

Organ Risk - Some sources describe possible non‑reproductive organ toxic effects from exposure to quaternary ammonium compounds, while government reviews have given mixed findings. Because there is evidence pointing to potential organ toxicity in people and animals, repeated or high exposures could harm organs like the liver or lungs.

✅2/10

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.

The U.S. FDA allows limited food uses; Environment Canada says it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body; an industry safety panel notes some data gaps and sets safe use limits but does not identify a health risk when used as intended. Based on these assessments, there are no known health risks for typical topical use.
