Chloroxylenol (4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol) is a chemical compound that is commonly used in antibacterial soaps such as Dettol.[1] Studies have shown a low anti microbial activity which is enhanced by additives. Its antibacterial action is due to disruption of cell membrane potentials.[2]

Chloroxylenol is not significantly toxic to humans and other mammals but is toxic to fish[citation needed]. It is a mild skin irritant and may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. Cross sensitivity with chlorocresol is common.[1]
