The present invention relates to a water-based, quick-drying, gel-type disinfectant composition comprising one or more anti-microbicidal ingredients, 0-30 % of an alcohol, a thickening agent, an emulsifier, and water. The composition is especially relevant for use as a hand or skin disinfectant to be used in the food industry or in hospitals. The thickening agent is a crucial part of the composition and is typically selected from acrylic acid copolymers, methacrylic acid copolymers, sodium carboxy cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl cellulose. A typical composition comprises 0.05-5.0 % of one or more anti-microbicidal ingredients, 1-20 % of ethanol, 0.05-2.5 % of an acrylic acid copolymer as a thickening agent, 0.05-5.0 % of a fatty acid alcohol-polyglycol ether as an emulsifier, 0.5-5.0 % of glycerin, 0.01-2.0 % of one or more additives including 0.05-1.0 % of a basic compound, and substantially the balance of water.
