Abstract: This invention relates to syndet-based compositions having pH of 4.5 to 5.5 wherein use of caprylic acid has been unexpectedly found to enhance bacterial kill.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a thickening agent, and a moisturizing oil, wherein at least 50% of droplets of the moisturizing oil present in the antibacterial composition have a particle size of 5 micrometers to 10 millimeters. A method of making an antibacterial composition comprises dispersing a thickening agent in water to form a first phase; combining a moisturizing oil and a humectant to form a second phase; combining the first phase with an alcohol to form a third phase; adding the second phase to the third phase, forming a fourth phase; and adding a neutralizer to the fourth phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: A transparent antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a humectant, and a sensory oil. A method of making a transparent antibacterial composition comprises combining a sensory oil and a humectant forming a first phase; combining water with an alcohol forming a second phase; combining the first phase and the second phase forming a third phase; and adding a neutralizer to the third phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition comprises water, alcohol, a moisturizing oil, wherein at least 50% of droplets of the moisturizing oil present in the antibacterial composition have a particle size of 5 to 25 micrometers, preferably 6 to 15 micrometers; and optionally a sensory oil. A method of making an antibacterial composition comprises dispersing a thickening agent in water forming a first phase; combining a moisturizing oil, a sensory oil, and a humectant forming a second phase; combining the first phase with an alcohol forming a third phase; adding the second phase to the third phase, forming a forth phase; and adding a neutralizer to the fourth phase, thereby forming the antibacterial composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to syndet-based compositions having pH of 4.5 to 5.5 wherein use of caprylic acid has been unexpectedly found to enhance bacterial kill.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an extruded bar soap composition. It more particularly relates to a soap bar composition which exhibits better bloom (perfume impact) and better deposition of actives as compared to conventional soap bars. This is obtained by ensuring that the amount of oleate soap is kept low while incorporating some amount of ricinoleate soap.

Abstract: The invention relates to bar composition comprising minimum floor levels of C10 soap while minimizing ratio of unsaturated C18 soap to caprate. Such bars provide enhanced rapid, antibacterial activity. Disclosed is a soap bar composition comprising: a) 25 to 85%, preferably 35 to 75% by weight of C8 to C24 fatty acid soap comprising: (i) C10 soap at 8% or 15% or greater, more preferably 16 to 32% by weight of total bar composition; and, (ii) unsaturated C18 soap, wherein weight ratio of said unsaturated C18 soap to C10 (caprate) soap is 1.2 to 0.1. b) 1 to 45% organic and inorganic adjuvant materials by weight of the composition; and, c) 5 to 30%, preferably 13 to 28% water by weight of the composition, wherein excess of C10 soap to unsaturated C18 soap is at least 6%.

Abstract: A soap bar comprising: (a) 25 to 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of fatty acid soap; (b) 0.1 to 100 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of at least one silver (I) compound having a selected silver ion solubility, wherein at 25° C., a 1 wt % solution of the bar in water has a pH of from 9 to 11.

Abstract: Method of cleansing human skin employing an aqueous soap composition comprising of fatty acid soap, at least one silver (I) compound having a silver ion solubility (in water at 25° C.) of at least 1×10?4 mol/L, and water, which composition provides biocidal activity against Gram positive bacteria in particular S. aureus, in relatively short contact periods.

Abstract: A suspension for removing microbes from a surface comprises contacting a plurality of modified particles (MPs), comprise a plurality of microparticles are coated by one or more polymers or their surfaces are covalently bonded to functionality that promotes a cationic surface. The microparticles can be a metal, metal oxide, an organic particle, or any other microparticle. A metal oxide microparticle can be functionalized by a silane coupling agent or the organic microparticle can be a polymer or copolymer that has a functionalized monomer or polymer covalently or ionically bonded to a particle. The coating can be a polymer such as polyethylene imine or chitosan. The surface can be contacted by washing with the suspension of the modified microparticles.
