Abstract: A hand sanitizer composition that provides effective skin sanitization and exhibits low flammability, while containing sufficient humectant for moisturization of the skin includes an alcohol selected from the group consisting of alcohol(s) containing 4 to 6 carbon atoms in an amount of from about 10% to about 60% by volume, and one or more humectants present in an amount of from about 10% to about 80% by volume.

Abstract: A composition that is a substitute for food grade sodium chloride includes crystalline particles containing both potassium chloride and lysine monohydrochloride such that the potassium chloride and lysine monohydrochloride are not susceptible to separation. A process for making the composition includes steps of providing a supersaturated water solution of potassium chloride and lysine monohydrochloride at a temperature of from about 10 to about 70° C., adding ethanol to the solution in an amount sufficient to precipitate crystalline particles containing a combination of potassium chloride and lysine monohydrochloride, separating the crystalline particles from the solution, and drying the crystalline particles.

Abstract: A nail polish remover that is safer and more environmentally friendly than conventional acetone-based and petrochemical-based nail polish removers containing a mixture of water and at least one lower alkyl acetate, and an amount of an emulsifier that is sufficient to emulsify the alkyl acetate to prevent phase separation of the mixture. Exemplary compositions include, as the lower alkyl acetate, n-butyl acetate in an amount of from 10% to 60% by volume, ethanol, as the emulsifier, in an amount of from 0 to 20% by volume, and the balance being water.
