A new siloxane embedded benzalkonium chloride-based skin protectant (fiteBac Germicidal Skin Softening Gel) for use against insect bites and related dermal infections

fiteBac Skin Softening Gel, widely used as a cosmetic, contains the anti-infective benzalkonium chloride embedded in siloxane quaternary ammonium compounds, but does not contain alcohol. It thus serves well for skin protection combined with local anti-infective activity. As it does not penetrate the skin, no systemic toxic side effects are expected, and more than 3 years of practical use have not revealed any adverse reactions.
