Abstract: A nontoxic environmentally friendly aqueous disinfectant is disclosed for specific use as prevention against contamination by potentially pathogenic bacteria and virus. The aqueous disinfectant is formulated by electrolytically generating silver ions in water in combination with a citric acid. The aqueous disinfectant may include a suitable alcohol and/or a detergent. The aqueous disinfectant has been shown to be very effective at eliminating standard indicator organisms such as staphylococcus aureus, salmonella cholerasuis and pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract: Anhydrous silver dihydrogen citrate compositions comprise silver dihydrogen citrate and citric acid. The anhydrous compositions can be prepared by freeze-drying. The anhydrous compositions can be reconstituted with a suitable diluent to form silver dihydrogen citrate compositions. The anhydrous compositions can be reconstituted and applied to a variety of substrates to impart an antimicrobial effect on the substrates.

Abstract: A composition and process is disclosed for treating an acne infection with a composition of electrolytically generated silver citrate. The composition of electrolytically generated silver citrate may be applied topically to the acne infection in an aqueous solution or may be incorporated within a cosmetic product. The acne composition may be combined with a composition component such as a cosmetic, a lotion, an emulsion, a gel or a soap.

Abstract: Personal care and home care compositions are disclosed, which include silver dihydrogen citrate. The inventive compositions advantageously take the form of suspensions, pastes, liquids and gels. The inventive compositions also optionally comprise additional ingredients, and are therefore suitable for a wide variety of personal, home and industrial care purposes.

Abstract: Compositions comprising silver dihydrogen citrate in combination with a second antimicrobial compound are provided. The second antimicrobial compound may be quaternary ammonia, an oxidizer or a halogen species, such as chlorine, bromine or iodine. Methods of using the antimicrobial composition provide superior antimicrobial effects.
