Key ingredients

What’s inside, and what it does

The antibacterial active that does the work, plus the cleansers that lift dirt and grease. Here is what each one does.

Full ingredient list →

Active ingredient · antibacterial
Benzalkonium Chloride 0.13%
For handwashing to decrease bacteria on the skin.
What it does Benzalkonium Chloride
Benzalkonium chloride, often shortened to BZK, is a widely used antiseptic. It is the only active ingredient on the Drug Facts panel.
Cleansers
Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate & Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Cleansers that lift dirt, grease and oil from the skin and build a rich foam.
What it does Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate & Sodium Laureth Sulfate
These are the main cleansing ingredients. They loosen dirt and oil so water can rinse it away, and their foam means a little product goes a long way.
Lather builders
Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Cocamide MEA
Coconut-derived ingredients that make the lather thicker and milder.
What it does Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Cocamide MEA
Both are made from coconut oil fatty acids. They boost and stabilize foam and soften the feel of the stronger cleansers.
Preservative system
Gluconolactone & Sodium Benzoate
A pair that helps keep the formula stable and fresh.
What it does Gluconolactone & Sodium Benzoate
Sodium benzoate helps keep bacteria and mold from growing in the product. Gluconolactone is a gentle polyhydroxy acid that also helps hold moisture.
