Disclosed are novel aqueous modified starch solutions, such solutions can contain high levels of the modified starch and remain stable such that on standing, the solution does not form a precipitate, become a non pourable gel, separate or spoil due to attack from microorganisms. The use of the novel aqueous modified starch solutions in a cosmetically acceptable medium for the treatment of a keratin-containing substrate is also disclosed.

Modified starch solutions and their use in personal care

Synergistic antimicrobial combinations comprising 4,5-dichloro-2-N-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and a mixture of a chlorinated isocyanurate and a bromide compound are disclosed. Methods for inhibiting microbial growth using these synergistic antimicrobial combinations are also disclosed.

Synergistic antimicrobial combination of

Synergistic antimicrobial combinations consisting essentially of comprising 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether and 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane are disclosed. Methods for inhibiting microbial growth using these synergistic antimicrobial combinations are also disclosed.

Synergistic antimicrobial composition of

Synergistic antimicrobial combinations comprising 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane and at least one ester of parahydroxybenzoic acid are disclosed. Methods for using these synergistic combinations to inhibit microbial growth are also disclosed.
