About

Cloflucarban is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Cloflucarban (CAS 369-77-7) is a halogenated aromatic antibacterial agent. It is structurally related to other banned or restricted antibacterials like triclosan and triclocarban. The EU has taken a precautionary approach to halogenated phenol compounds in cosmetics due to concerns about environmental persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and possible endocrine disruption effects. While not explicitly listed in Annex II at the time of this review, the trend in EU regulation strongly disfavors such compounds in wash-off cosmetic products.

Known concerns

  • Environmental persistence concern
  • Potential bioaccumulation
  • Possible endocrine disruption activity
  • Similar to banned/triclosan-class compounds
