The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and more particularly to an antimicrobial composition at the pH of skin. The present invention provides an antimicrobial composition comprising: a. 0.5 to 20% by weight of a solvent comprising an alkyl glycol ether, b. 0.1 to 20% by weight of a carboxylic acid selected from an aromatic carboxylic acid having pKa greater than 4 or an aliphatic carboxylic acid having pKa greater than 4.5 or mixtures thereof c. 1 to 80% by weight of an anionic surfactant.

Antimicrobial composition

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition at the pH of the skin. Particularly, it relates to an antimicrobial composition comprising water soluble vinyl polymer, a carboxylic acid having pKa greater than 4.5; and an anionic surfactant, wherein the composition has pH in the range 4.5 to 6.5. The compositions provides synergistic antimicrobial effect in relatively shorter contact time. The invention further relates to a method of disinfecting a surface using the composition.

Antimicrobial composition comprising a fatty acid/soap/polyvinyl alcohol mixture

The invention relates to a liquid personal cleaning composition. The present inventors have found that inclusion selected di or tricarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, when combined with thymol or terpineol provide synergistic antimicrobial action in a rapid fashion and such efficacy is very low concentrations of thymol and/or terpineol.

Liquid personal wash composition

The invention is in the field of skin hygiene, especially hand hygiene and/or hand soap compositions. It remains to be desired to prepare skin hygiene compositions having a high anti-microbial effect, even with a low dosage of anti-microbial essential oils. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a skin hygiene composition, having good anti-microbial properties, at low levels of essential oil. Surprisingly it has been found that composition comprising a low amount of at least two essential oils and a polymer provides improved hygiene efficacy.
