Claim:
1. A method forming a thermodynamically stable, oil-in-water, botanical antimicrobial microemulsion (BAMM) comprising; providing one or more antimicrobial, naturally derived, and edible essential oils and extracts and at least two naturally derived and edible, non-ionic surfactants, at least one of the surfactants an oil-soluble surfactant and at least one of the surfactants a water-soluble surfactant, mixing the one or more essential oils and extracts with the oil-soluble surfactant to form a first solution, diluting the water-soluble surfactant with water to form a second solution, adding a buffer to the second solution, forming a buffered solution, and combining the first solution with the buffered solution to produce an optically clear microemulsion that is stabilized from gaining turbidity and separating for at least one year.
