A topical sanitizing composition for restoring skin's natural balance of bacteria comprising:
- about 0.02 wt. % to 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient;
- at least about 40 wt. % of one or more C1-6 alcohols;
- and
- water, where said active ingredient comprises one or more of a probiotic, probiotic derivative, and a prebiotic wherein said topical sanitizing composition reduces pathogen binding on skin by a statistically significant amount, as compared to an otherwise identical composition without the active ingredient.
A method of skin treatment comprising:
- applying a topical sanitizing composition to a skin surface, wherein said topical composition comprises:
- about 0.02 wt. % to 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient;
- at least about 40 wt. % of one or more C1-6 alcohols;
- about 0.01 wt. % to 10.0 wt. % of a humectant;
- and
- water, where said active ingredient comprises one or more of a probiotic, a probiotic derivative, and a prebiotic, wherein said topical sanitizing composition reduces pathogen binding on skin by a statistically significant amount, as compared to an otherwise identical composition without the active ingredient.
A skin treatment topical composition comprising;
- about 0.02 wt. % to 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient comprising one or more of a probiotic, a probiotic derivative, and a prebiotic;
