Background:
Persulfate compounds are reactive oxidative agents increasingly recognized as contact allergens.
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to identify common consumer products containing persulfate compounds in the US market.
Methods:
Five publicly accessible online ingredient repositories and searches of two large online retailers were used to identify persulfate-containing consumer products.
Results:
We identified persulfates in 23 hair colouring products, 11 denture cleansers, 8 pool/hot-tub products, 3 paints, and 3 cleaning products.
Conclusions:
Clinicians assessing contact dermatitis should be aware of three primary categories of consumer products that contain persulfates: denture cleansers, hair colouring products, and nonchlorine hot-tub and pool shock.
