    Nolvasan S MSDS information https://www.accessbutler.com/msdsimages/A0000558.pdf

    all of these products are different and all have different msds uses and hazards.
    this is a disinfectant not a soap and it will last some time on your skin. it doesnt just rinse off like you seem inclinded to believe
    All products containing Chlorhexidine CAN be harmful at high concentrations. It doesn't matter the product name or what else is added to the chemical. All of the chemicals you listed contains Chlorhexidine, which is the chemical that causes the risks. You can easily confirm this by typing in "Chlorhexidine deafness", etc.

    I did forget to add that it's in a high concentration, but the chemical Chlorhexidine with or without any other additive can cause deafness/corneal ulcers.

    Admittedly, in a very diluted form, it can be used for contact lenses cleaner.

    I would still probably suggest that you not get it near your ears or eyes.
