Any alternative of tricolsan as a Antibacterial in Hand wash

Posted by CreatuveHands on January 7, 2021 at 3:51 pm

Hi all friends.
I need help in ingredients to make crystal clear transparent antibacterial hand wash. I try Tricolsan 0.3%. But it is expensive. My cost gone huge up.
Is their any other chemical cheaper and effective anti bacterial to use in hand wash ?

also, I don’t think triclosan is allowed to be claimed any more as an anti-bacterial in the US

I’m with @Andraous : chloroxylenol is the best. Use with phenoxyethanol (and NaOH as Andraous mentioned) and you aid its solubility and turbocharge its germicidal property too. Who ever needed triclosan in the first place?
