Customer Reviews of BabyGanics Alchohol Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer On-the-Go, 50 ml (1.69-Ounce) Bottles (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: Benzalkonium Chloride - think again
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, I apologize for not using the product before reviewing!
BUT, I decided not to use it on my 16 months old after I looked up what "Benzalkonium Chloride" is...
If you do a google search on Benzalkonium Chloride, there are lots of articles you can read up on.
This is from EWG's (Environmental Working Group) skin deep data base: (it's rated moderate - high hazard)
"About BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE: Biocide, preservative and surfactant associated with severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergies, benzalkonium chloride is a sensitizer especially dangerous for people with asthma or skin conditions such as eczema. Benzalkonium chloride is found in many household disinfectants and cleaning supplies. Regular use of products containing antimicrobials such as benzalkonium chloride could leads to the development of resistant bacteria in homes and food processing facilities."
They also provide a list of facts based on researches on the website.
From Wikipedia:
"Benzalkonium chloride, also known as alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and ADBAC. ADBAC is highly toxic to fish (LC50 = 280 'g ai/L), very highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates (LC50 = 5.9 'g ai/L), moderately toxic to birds (LD50 = 136 mg/kg-bw), and slightly toxic to mammals (LD50 = 430 mg/kg-bw).[4] Benzalkonium chloride solutions of 10% or more are toxic to humans, causing irritation to the skin and mucosa, and death if taken internally.
A disinfectant containing benzalkonium chloride and the related compound didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) has been identified as the most probable cause of birth defects and fertility problems in caged mice.[20]
A 2009 study has found that benzalkonium chloride, when used in less than lethal concentrations, resulted in an increased resistance to the disinfectant solution, and a 256-fold increase in resistance of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the ciprofloxacin antibiotic, even though the bacterial colonies had not been previously exposed to the antibiotic."
I understand this product contains only 0.1% of benzalkonium chloride and is probably ok if only used occasionally and under supervision. But personally, I would not use this on my baby when there are other alternatives available, try Clean Well or wash hands often.
Hope this helps...
