Abstract: Babassuamadopropalkonium chloride is quaternary ammonium compounds obtained from natural babassu oil that contains a high level of lauric acid, and it has been used as mild conditioner. We found that babassuamadopropalkonium chloride has strong and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity especially with bisabolol. Bisabolol is the active component of Chamomile, one of the most used medical plants, and has been used as anti-irritant. We found that there is a synergistic effect of bisabolol on hinokitiol, when combined with ethylhexylglycerin or caprylyl glycol. This synergistic effect of composition of bisabolol and ethylhexylglycerin can reduce the required amount of hinokitiol, which if used in high amount can be unstable by more than 100 times. Self-preserving personal care cleansing compositions that include bisabolol, alkyl or alkylamidopropyl betaines, amphoteric surfactants, acyl sarcosinates and optionally fatty acids and(or) acyl lactylate and(or) acyl glucoside and(or) babassuamadopropalkonium chloride and colloidal silver have also broad- spectrum antimicrobial activity.
