FOOT CARE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING QUATERNARY AMMONIUM ORGANOSILANES

摘要

The present invention describes aqueous formulations containing organosilane quaternary ammonium compounds which when applied to the skin and nails of feet, remain on the skin and nails, are substantive to it and reduce odor and infection through elimination, inactivation or reduction of bacteria and fungi present and prevent reinfection by their presence and substantive character. Antimicrobial foot powder formulations containing quaternary ammonium organosilanes are also described. All formulations may be scented and/or colored and all contain a water-soluble, organosilicon quaternary ammonium compound or mixture thereof; specifically 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyloctadecyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride or 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyldidecylmethyl ammonium chloride and the trisilanol, polysiloxanol and water-soluble polysiloxane derivatives thereof.
