Triclosan

Triclosan is an antiseptic, preservative, and disinfectant used across healthcare and consumer products. It is commonly added to cosmetics, home cleaners, plastics, fabrics, and utensils to inhibit bacterial growth. In personal care formulations such as deodorants, soaps, and shower gels, it works as a biocide and helps prevent product spoilage by controlling microbial contamination.
