Antimicrobial peptide stimulating sanitizing composition

A method of skin treatment to increase the production of antimicrobial peptides on the skin, said method comprising:

• applying a topical sanitizing composition to a skin surface, wherein said topical composition comprises:
• about 0.02 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient;
• at least about 40 wt. % of one or more C1-6 alcohols;
• and
• the balance up to 100 wt. % being water, wherein said active ingredient comprises one or more of a natural extract and a polypeptide, where said topical composition increases the concentration of antimicrobial peptides on skin, as compared to an otherwise identical topical sanitizing composition without the active ingredient.

A skin treatment composition comprising;

• about 0.02 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient comprising one or more of a natural extract and a polypeptide;
• about 40.0 wt. % to about 95.0 wt.% of one or more C1-6 alcohols;
• about 0.01 wt. % to about 10.0 wt.% of a humectant;
• about 0.01 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of a moisturizing ester;
• and
• the balance up to 100 wt. % being water.

A topical composition for increasing the innate immunity of the skin comprising;

• about 0.02 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of an active ingredient comprising one or more of a natural extract and a polypeptide;
• about 40.0 wt. % to about 95.0 wt. % of one or more C1-6 alcohols;
• about 0.01 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of an emollient;
• about 0.01 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of a viscosity modifier;
• and
• water.
