Abstract
An antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed that comprises about 0.25 wt. % to about 5.0 wt. % of at least one bisbiguanide antimicrobial active; up to about 15 wt. % of at least one C2-C8 glycol; about 0.1 wt. % to about 2.0 wt. % of a first surfactant comprising an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer; at least one additional surfactant selected from the group consisting of a C8-C16 alkyl polyglucoside and an amine oxide; and water. The antimicrobial cleansing composition passes European Standard EN-1499.
