Chemical Composition/Ingredients
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.

The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.-
Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.
ChemicalChemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture. CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org

Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation.
Skin Contact: The product contains a small amount of sensitizing substance which may provoke an allergic reaction among sensitive individuals after repeated contact. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking, or irritation. This product contains an amount of Triazinetriethanol (THT) (CAS No. 004719-04-4) that is within the approved EPA regulated limits. THT can act as a sensitizer. Numerous human studies with concentrations up to 1 percent yielded negative (no sensitization) results. However, some results showed positive reactions in concentrations <0.5 percent mostly in persons with eczema.
Inhalation: Not a respiratory sensitizer.
Ingestion: May cause discomfort if swallowed. -
Chronic health effects
From SDS:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking, or irritation. -
