Abstract: The present technology relates to stable antimicrobial compositions comprising a combination of undecylenic acid and one or more organic acids or salts thereof, which can be useful for sanitizing laundry and fabrics. These botanical compositions can still achieve antimicrobial efficacy and keep bacteria counts low while exhibiting exceptional stability. The present technology also relates to methods of disinfecting laundry or fabrics, comprising contacting such compositions to the laundry or fabrics, including adding any of the compositions to a washing machine or automatic laundering machine.

Abstract: The present technology relates to botanical antimicrobial compositions that comprise various ingredients, including undecylenic acid, organic acid or solvents; and that can be used as surface cleaners, disinfectants, sanitizers, or preservatives for food or consumer products. The present technology also relates to methods of disinfecting or sanitizing surfaces, or preserving food or personal care compositions, comprising contacting such surfaces, or food or personal care compositions, with an antimicrobial composition herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin or surface disinfectant composition with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity comprising one or more essential oil (and/or one or more component thereof) and one or more fruit acid. The compositions of the invention may be used as non-toxic alternatives to conventional disinfectants or may be added to other antimicrobial agents to enhance their activity. The invention provides effective alternatives to harsher products which may be particularly useful in personal care and household products and where children and/or pet exposure may be a concern.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising antimicrobially effective low concentrations of benzyl alcohol, one or more essential oil and one or more botanical extract. The compositions of the application may be used in personal care products including wound care products or in veterinary use. In certain embodiments, compositions are provided having antimicrobial active agents that are substantially or essentially entirely derived from natural sources, thereby allowing the user to avoid harsh and/or toxic chemicals. This may be particularly advantageous in products for use by or on children or pets or for use in households or other environments occupied by children or animals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for rendering a surface resistant to bio-film formation by a combination of an alkanediol and an antimicrobial agent (and, optionally, an organic hydroxy acid). The invention provides for compositions which may be used to render surfaces bio-film resistant, articles having bio-film resistant surfaces, and methods for their preparation. The present invention may be advantageously applied to medical articles as well as articles used in non-medical contexts, such as child care or food preparation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for rendering a surface resistant to bio-film formation by a combination of an antimicrobial agent, an organic hydroxy acid, lubricious biomedical polymer and solvent. The invention provides for compositions which may be used to render surfaces bio-film resistant, articles having bio-film resistant surfaces, and methods for their preparation. The present invention may be advantageously applied to medical articles as well as articles used in non-medical contexts, such as child care or food preparation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preservative or antimicrobial compositions with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity comprising low concentrations of essential oil (and/or one or more component thereof) and a botanical extract in synergistic combination with a fruit acid and alkanediol, and optionally a solvent. The compositions of the invention may be used in personal care products such as creams or soap products.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are preservative compositions comprising effective amounts of an alcohol, such as benzyl alcohol (“BA”), ethyl alcohol or phenyl ethanol, and cinnamon bark oil (“CB”), cinnamaldehyde (“CMA”), thyme oil, thymol, galangal oil, botanical extracts or combinations thereof, each of which are preferably obtained from natural sources. These preservatives have been observed to show broad spectrum anti microbial efficacy in both anionic and cationic formulations. In certain non-limiting embodiments, such compositions further comprise tetrahydrocurcuminoid (“THC”), phenyl ethanol and/or orange oil (“OR”) or rosemary oil (“RM”).
