Abstract
Homogeneous antimicrobial compositions and antimicrobial wet wipes and lotions which include the antimicrobial compositions are described. The homogeneous antimicrobial composition includes at least about 50 weight percent water based on a total weight of the composition and an effective amount of a hydrophobic antimicrobial agent which is uniformly dispersed in the composition. The antimicrobial wet wipe includes from about 150 to about 600 weight percent of the antimicrobial composition based on the dry weight of the wipe. The homogenous antimicrobrial composition may include, based upon the total weight of the composition, (a) from about 0.01 to about 3.0 weight percent of a hydrophobic antimicrobrial agent; (b) from about 1.0 to about 15.0 weight percent of an amide; (c) from about 1.0 to about 30.0 weight percent of a surfactant; and (d) from about 50 to about 98 weight percent water.
