Abstract: A composition for a bactericidal, disinfecting, and cleansing foam agent contains, as essential components, (a) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from polyalkylene glycol ethers and fatty acid esters of polyglycerin, (b) a bactericidal component, and (c) water. In a preferable embodiment, the nonionic surfactant has a HLB of 10 or greater and is selected from fatty acid esters of polyglycerin. The bactericidal component is selected from hinokitiol, hinokitiol salts, and hinokitiol complexes. This composition is free from a lower alcohol, and further free from an anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant and a cationic surfactant. This composition is particularly suitable for a pump foam-type product. This invention can provide a composition suitable for a bactericidal, disinfecting, and cleansing agent wherein the composition turns into foam sufficiently to give an easy-to-use foam agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transparent bar soap composition comprising a sodium salt of a fatty acid or a mixed sodium/potassium salt of a fatty acid, at least one amphoteric surfactant selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formulas (A) to (C), a nonionic surfactant, and at least one glycerin derivative.

Abstract: This invention is an antibacterial, bactericidal and antiseptic agent containing an aluminum salt of hinokitiol or/and a complex compound of hinokitiol with an aluminum compound as an effective component.As hinokitiol contained in the form of an aluminum salt of hinokitiol or/and a complex compound of hinokitiol with an aluminum compound, the thermal, optical and chemical instabilities of hinokitiol are dispelled, and the stabilization during the production and at the time of storage as preparations is obtained.
