The present invention provides an antimicrobial cleansing composition comprising (a) 20 to less than 60 wt.%, preferably 25 to 55 wt.%, more preferably 35 to 50 wt.% of at least one alcohol selected from ethanol and propanol; (b) 0,5 to 10 wt.% of a surfactant selected from sulfate salt surfactants and amphoteric surfactants, preferably a sulfate salt surfactant comprising (i) an anionic molecule comprising a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, which is linked via an alkyleneoxy unit or polyalkyleneoxy unit with a sulfate group and (ii) as cationic counterion a protonated amine, preferably a protonated mono-, di- or tri- hydroxyalkylamine, and water. The composition developed by the present inventors shows effective cleansing and antimicrobial properties. Hence, using this composition it will no longer be required to provide in hospitals two separate dispensers for one (foam) soap and one antimicrobial alcohol-based composition. The present invention also relates to the use of this antimicrobial cleansing composition for making foam and a dispenser, preferably a non-propellant foam soap dispenser containing the above antimicrobial cleansing composition. |
