According to the FDA, dioxane is a heterocyclic organic compound, classified as an ether. It is a colorless liquid with a faint sweet odor similar to that of diethyl ether. The compound is often called simply dioxane because the other dioxane isomers are rarely encountered.
Dioxane is used as a solvent for a variety of practical applications as well as in the laboratory, and also as a stabilizer for the transport of chlorinated hydrocarbons in aluminum containers.
It is important to note that there are no federal or state regulations that require companies to put dioxane in the list of ingredients so sometimes it is hard to find exactly which products contain dioxane.
