Abstract:
1. A method of disinfecting skin comprising applying an aqueous skin disinfecting solution to skin, the solution being suitable for use on skin, having a pH of from about 2 to about 6, and consisting of: (a) hydrogen peroxide in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 4% w/w of the solution; (b) at least one amine oxide surfactant in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 15% w/w of the solution; (c) at least one hydrogen peroxide stabilizer in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 4% w/w of the solution; (d) salicylic acid in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 4% w/w of the solution; (e) at least one skin conditioning agent in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 10% w/w of the solution; (f) optionally, at least one buffer in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 5% w/w of the solution; (g) optionally, at least one thickening agent compatible with hydrogen peroxide in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 5% w/w of the solution; (h) optionally, at least one additional surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl amphocarboxylates, alkyl betaines, alkyl amidopropyl betaine amides, alkyl amidopropyl betaines, and alkylsulfo betaines, in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 15% w/w of the solution; (i) optionally, at least one C1 to C8 alcohol in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 10% w/w of solution; (j) optionally, at least one member selected from the group consisting of monocarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof in a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 3% w/w of the solution; (k) optionally, at least one member selected from the group consisting of dyes and fragrances in a concentration of from about 0.001 to about 0.5% w/w of the solution; and (l) water q.s. to 100% w/w.
