phenoxyethanol

The potentially harmful ingredients in the cream are chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol.

Alternatives, such as phenoxyethanol, are available but are generally less effective than thimerosal.

Phenoxyethanol is an alternative to standard, potentially harmful formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.

Several preservatives are available, including thiomersal, phenoxyethanol, and formaldehyde.

Preservatives in vaccines, such as thiomersal, phenoxyethanol, and formaldehyde, prevent serious adverse effects.

Phenoxyethanol can also slow down the brain function. It may cause vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration in infants.

In 2005-06, methyldibromoglutaronitrile/ phenoxyethanol was the ninth-most-prevalent allergen in patch tests (5.8%).

DTPa also contains a different preservative (phenoxyethanol).

Phenoxyethanol is chemical preservative, a glycol ether often used in dermatological products such as skin creams and sunscreen.

A common alternative has been phenoxyethanol, however this has its own risks and led to an FDA warning on inclusion in nipple creams.

Reason for Warning The FDA warned consumers not to use the product because it contains the preservatives chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol.

The activity of the preservative phenoxyethanol was effective in inactivating challenge doses of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, as well as a yeast (Candida albicans).

Chemicals (e.g., thimerosal, phenol, 2 phenoxyethanol) added to multidose, killed or subunit vaccines in order to prevent serious secondary infections as a result of bacterial or fungal contamination.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned that the product contains the preservatives chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol, which could cause serious side-effects, including difficulty breathing and dehydration, if ingested by nursing infants.

It is a bactericide (usually used in conjunction with quaternary ammonium compounds), often used in place of sodium azide in biological buffers because phenoxyethanol is less toxic and non-reactive with copper and lead.

Remaining faithful to Buly's old recipes, he has developed alcohol-free perfumes, beauty creams and balms that comply with today's stringent regulations, yet build on the ancient vision of cosmetics when formulas where parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicon-free.

The product, marketed to nursing mothers to help soothe and heal their dry or cracked nipples, contains ingredients chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol that could cause respiratory distress or vomiting and diarrhea in infants, the FDA said.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) data sheets show chromosomal changes and genetic mutation effects in testing as well as testicular atrophy and interference with reproductivity in mice for other glycol ethers, although phenoxyethanol is not mentioned in the abstract.
