GERMICIDAL TOPICAL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Topical germicidal compositions comprise (in preferred embodiments consist of or consist essentially of): about 50 %wt. - 90 %wt. of an alcohol constituent comprising one or more C1-C4 monohydric alcohols; a silicone emulsifier constituent; which preferably comprises PEG/PPG dimethicone in a liquid silicone carrier and/or comprises a PEG/PPG cyclopentasiloxane; optionally, a volatile linear silicone constituent; optionally, an ion source; optionally but preferably, a thickener constituent based on one or more cellulose derivatives; optionally, one or more constituents for improving the aesthetic or other technical characteristics of the invention, optionally, water; characterized in that the are flowable and subsequent to being stored at elevate temperatures and/or extended time intervals are retained as a single phase composition and do not split or separate into two or more phases, and further, the compositions provide a topical germicidal benefit when applied to the skin or parts of the body. Also disclosed are methods for the production of the topical germicidal compositions, as well as methods for their use.
