Bromochlorophen

Bromochlorophen, also known by the names Arnebia thomsonii, Lithospermum guttatum, or Macrotomia guttata, is an antiseptic chemical widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is mainly used in skin care and oral hygiene products. Its main function is to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms that could cause unwanted infection or disease. Bromochlorophen is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those that are resistant to many commonly used antiseptics.

Products containing bromochlorophen include various types of soaps, shampoos, mouthwashes and cosmetic creams. The substance is also often added to disinfectants, such as those used in healthcare facilities. Although bromochlorophen is generally considered safe for human health, it can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. For this reason, it is important to familiarise oneself with its presence on the list of ingredients before using such products. Like all chemicals, bromochlorophen should be used in moderation and with caution.
