p-Chlorocresol is a chlorinated phenol which is used as an antiseptic and preservative.[1] It forms colourless, dimorphous crystals at room temperature and is only slightly soluble in water. For use as a disinfectant such as a hand wash, it is commonly dissolved in alcohol in combination with other phenols.[2] It is a moderate allergen for sensitive skin.[3]
