I know that benzalkonium chloride, while not a super common allergy, is also not super rare so I wanted to make a PSA. For me, the chloride rips off my skin and makes it raw, and when in large quantities, makes me sneeze and gives me a runny nose. After we discovered this allergy, we were careful to check all disinfectant and medical products for the chloride. However, I recently cleaned my bathroom with a BUNCH of Clorox wipes and noticed every time I entered my bathroom, I would sneeze and my nose wouldn't stop running so I decided to do some research after noticing the lack of ingredients listed on the container. I discovered that benzalkonium chloride has a lesser known, longer name, that more brands are using, probably so they can contain using the chloride in their products. The alternate name is alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride. It can have an (n-) in front of the alkyl and there can be a parenthesis with a lot of percentages and they are all forms of benzalkonium chloride so if you have this allergy please save yourselves the suffering. The alternate name is also found online for Lysol disinfectant spray which is not on the actual container, just part of the 41% Other Ingredients. Also, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate is not the same as the chloride and should be okay. But always check the rest of the ingredients if there are some not listed on the container or package! Just because it's not listed upfront doesn't mean it's not there! Please do your research on all cleaning and medical supplies before you use them if you have this allergy!!
