Abstract: A synergistic antimicrobial composition includes an effective amount of at least one furanone, together with other disinfectants, such as, for example, an effective amount of at least one organosilane with quaternary ammonium functionality, and/or an effective amount of at least one quaternary ammonium compound. Additionally, biguanides and disinfectant amines also may be advantageously combined with furanones in an antimicrobial composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of stabilizing liposomes contained in aqueous compositions against lysis by anionic surfactants otherwise known to disrupt and lyse such liposomes by using certain surfactants as stabilizing agents and to the stabilized compositions obtained thereby as well as to a method of making detergent compositions containing such stabilized liposomes and anionic surfactants as well as to the compositions themselves. The compositions can be used as shower gels and shampoos. The liposomes are preferably vesicles derived from natural phospholipids or from synthetic nonionic amphiphilic compounds which are sometimes referred to as "niosomes" and may contain water soluble humectants or vitamins.
