Good source for finding ingredient/compound in consumer goods - CPID

So I was doing research on ingredients in laundry products and I came across this site which is very simnilar to the Household productrs database, but this one may be better.

Here is a link to the CPID site:
https://www.whatsinproducts.com/chemicals/index/1

Here is the government site, which I've linked to in the past as well as other people, I'm not sure if anyone has ever looked deeper but it doesn't just allow for a search of products (say Arm & hammar baking soda) but it allows you to search by manufacturer, product type, ingredient and product "catagory", so if you are looking for something, you can browse some things and maybe find something useful.

I just found some products with dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (MBAC) at a very high percent (industrial cleaning products) where my product uses less than .01% but it's like $5/ can, so I was looking for a different route and finding a product that is about 35% MBAC is like buying 3500 cans of this stuff for the price of 3 cans!

Government - household products database - product type listings
https://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/list?tbl=type&alpha=A

Ingredients - Household products list.gov
https://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/list?tbl=TblChemicals&alpha=A


The first link (top of page - CPID) allows for searching of the CAS registration number or EC number, which can be really helpful with some things.

the second and third link (that website) was already mentioned by VSEPR_VOID in a topic some time ago, good website but only if you live in the US
