Abstract: The invention discloses persistent antimicrobial protection of hands and/or surfaces of different objects using the hydro-alcoholic gel composition of the present invention. In particular, the invention provides water-resistant sanitizing hydro-alcoholic gel compositions based on ethyl alcohol, silver nanoparticles and fatty acids of Tung seed oil (Aleurites fordii). More particularly, it discloses the compositions that keep the surface sanitized well beyond the instant sanitization provided by volatile ethyl alcohol. The compositions of the present invention have ‘natural origin’ index of minimum 99% as per ISO 16128-2.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are personal care and home care composition comprising the whole of fatty acids (unfractionated) of Tung seed oil (Aleurites fordii, Vernicia fordii (family:Euphorbiaceae) as an antimicrobial preservative. The invention further discloses process of preparation of such compositions having fatty acids of Tung seed oil which are produced by saponification of commercially available Tung oil from seeds of the nuts of Tung tree. The home and personal care compositions comprising ‘whole’ mixture of fatty acids derived from the corresponding triglyceride oil at concentration of 0.5 to 2% w/w of the total composition help preserve the composition without any additional antimicrobial preservatives.
