Abstract: An antimicrobial preservation system comprising: i. itaconic acid or salt thereof and ii. benzoic acid or salt thereof.

Abstract: A preservation system comprising: i) itaconic acid or salt thereof and ii) a secondary preservation chemical selected from the list consisting of terpineol, geraniol, perillyl alcohol, menthol, terpinene, linalool, citronellol and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antidandruff composition comprising synergistic combination of itaconic acid or an ester thereof and a benzoic acid or a salt thereof in specific ratio ranges. The composition may be used for personal cleansing and is especially preferred to be delivered as a shampoo or hair conditioner.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antidandruff composition comprising low amounts of piroctone olamine which synergistically interacts with benzoic acid or a salt thereof and itaconic acid or an ester thereof. The composition may be used for personal cleansing and is especially preferred to be delivered as a shampoo or hair conditioner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combination of actives that provides synergistic preservative action especially for use in personal care compositions. The preservative system comprises a combination of sodium benzoate and a second active selected from benzhydroxamic acid or tricarballylic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antimicrobial particulate composition and a process for preparing the same. The invention also relates to a personal care composition comprising the antimicrobial particulate composition. The invention ensures desired efficacy on preparation at production scale while exhibiting a desired light coloured appearance of the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an antimicrobial particulate composition. The invention also relates to personal care or hygiene composition comprising an antimicrobial particulate composition obtainable by the process in accordance with this invention. The invention more particularly relates to a process for preparing an antimicrobial metal nanoparticles immobilized in an inorganic porous material and also incorporating these particles in personal care or hygiene compositions. The antimicrobial particulate composition comprises 0.05% to 3% by weight of antimicrobial metal particles and 97 to 99.95% by weight of immobilizer comprising an inorganic porous material selected from zinc oxide, magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition comprising: (i) a composite antimicrobial particulate material comprising an oligodynamic metal embedded in a water-insoluble inorganic carrier; and, (ii) at least one of thymol or terpineol or a mixture thereof. The composition is useful for sanitising an animate or inanimate surface by reducing bacterial count of at least one Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterium on said surface by 1 to 5 log within a contact time of 10 to 30 seconds.
