Phenoxyethanol and phenol are two other preservatives that may be present in very tiny amounts in some vaccines, sometimes as ****traces left from the manufacturing process****. Phenoxyethanol is a common preservative in skin creams, perfumes, cosmetics and toothpastes. Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is used in some antiseptic mouthwashes and in household antiseptics and disinfectants. In high concentrations, far above the trace amounts found in vaccines, these substances may be toxic.
