A method for treating human or animal skin, hands, feet, hair or nails to eliminate or reduce the number of microorganisms thereon by topical application of an aqueous formulation comprising antimicrobial organosilane quaternary ammonium compounds and benzalkonium chloride of the quaternary group, which provides antimicrobial and antiseptic activity. The method prevents reinfection for at least 12, preferably 24 and most preferably at least 60 hours. The formulation may further comprise methyl anthranilate, which performs the dual functions of fragrance (grape fragrance) and biocidal agent. The formulation may further comprise other compatible inert but desirable ingredients such as moisturizers, color and fragrance. |
