Abstract:
A rinse-off antimicrobial cleansing composition comprising the following individual components:a. from about 0.1% to about 5.0%, by weight of the cleansing composition, of an antimicrobial active;b. from about 4% to about 18%, by weight of the cleansing composition, of an anionic surfactant, wherein at least about 67% of the anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of Class A surfactants, Class C surfactants, and mixtures thereof, wherein the ratio of Class A surfactant to Class C is from about 100:0 to about 1.5:1;c. from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the cleansing composition, of a Class D acidic surfactants;d. from 0.1% to about 8%, by weight of the cleansing composition, of a proton donating agent having a Biological Activity Index, Z, of greater than about 0.75, and wherein the proton donating agent is such that the composition is essentially free of C.sub.4 -C.sub.20 alkyl fatty acid;e. from about 35% to about 95.8%, by weight of the cleansing composition, of water;wherein the composition is adjusted to a pH of greater than about 3.0 and less than about 5.5; andwherein the ratio of the amount of non-anionic surfactants to the amount of anionic surfactant is less than 1:1.
