carcinogenic though. better to use hydrogen peroxide.dont smoke in either case!

I'm pretty sure it's not carcinogenic, isn't it used as skin disinfectant and cosmetic preservative?

benzalkonium chloride should be good stuff, although sterilisation wouldn't be the correct terminology, but thats just me nitpicking.

i think it depends on the concentration. i know many benzine and phenol derivitives make you lumpy in concentration.they put allsorts in cosmetic too. having written this ive realised most of my favourite chemicals are benzine based.maybe it has other uses
