Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC), another name for benzoalkonium chloride, is a cationic surfactant that is used in skin antiseptics, wound wash sprays, throat lozenges, mouthwashes, spermicidal creams, floor cleaners, and algaecide products. Moreover, it is employed in industrial and non-consumer settings for tasks like surgical disinfection. Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides with a range of even-numbered alkyl chain lengths are combined to form ADBACs.

Phenoxyethanol is primarily employed as a preservative in various formulations to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold. It is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteri It consists of a benzene ring connected to a hydroxyl group and an ether linkage. This structure contributes to its solubility in both water and many organic solvents. Typically, it is used at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2% in cosmetics and personal care products.
