Patents: Complexion cleansers

摘要

The patent describes an aqueous soap composition that provides biocidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria,in particular Staphylococcus aureus,in relatively short contact periods.The applicants claim that soap compositions have antibacterial benefits largely associated with the removal of organisms from the skin through their cleansing action.Additionally,such compositions commonly have biocidal action against many Gram-negative bacteria but activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as S.aureus is considerably more limited,and is especially problematic in the case of high pH9-11 liquid soap products.
