Description

Benzalkonium chloride (BKC) is not typically used as a pigment in the traditional sense, as it is primarily known as a quaternary ammonium compound with disinfectant properties rather than a colorant. However, it can sometimes be used in formulations where it might have a slight coloration due to impurities or interactions with other chemicals.

In cosmetic and personal care products, BKC might be included as an antimicrobial agent rather than a pigment. It’s often found in products like hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, and certain types of cleansers due to its ability to effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
