Emulsions suitable for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed. Various substrates for body care, such as wipes and pads, are disclosed, which substrates are impregnated with the emulsions. Such treated substrates are suitable for use, for example, in body care, sun protection, antiperspirant and insect repellent formulations. A process for cold temperature production of the emulsions is also disclosed.

Emulsions of oil-in-water for cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions

A process useful for disinfecting medical instruments is presented involving reacting a hydrogen peroxide donor with an N-acyl compound in an aqueous medium having a pH of 9 to 11 to form an acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation, reducing the pH of the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation to pH 7 to 9; and contacting the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation with a medical instrument. The process provides good antimicrobial activity with little corrosion. The process is effective against mycobacteria.
