ANTIMICROBIAL BISPYRIDINE AMINE COMPOSITIONS AND USES

摘要

Antimicrobial bispyridine amine compositions that facilitate easy application on the skin, do not penetrate the skin, are compatible with typical deodorant ingredients, and do not cause adverse effects on skin and clothing. In one aspect, the present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition including an organic acid salt of a bispyridine amine where the organic acid contains from about 4 to about 30 carbon atoms. Because the organic acid salts of bispyridine amines are large molecules, they will not easily penetrate the skin, and will stay on the surface where they were applied and where they are needed to have their effect.
