Usage

General Description

Benzene, 1-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenylethyl)-, also known as triclocarban, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as an antimicrobial agent in personal care products such as soaps and lotions. It is a white, crystalline powder with a faint characteristic odor. Triclocarban has been shown to have potential toxicity to aquatic organisms and may also have negative effects on human health, including hormone disruption and antibiotic resistance. Due to these concerns, triclocarban has been banned in some countries and its use is heavily regulated in others.
