What is Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC)?

Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is a highly effective antiseptic and cationic surfactant, well recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity across a wide pH range. It is soluble in both aqueous and oily phases, making it suitable for diverse formulations.
