Abstract
Use of a mixture of (a) dodecanoic acid (lauric acid) (b) at least one other fatty acid, selected from the group of unbranched saturated fatty acids having a chain length of C.sub.6-20, at least one of the other fatty acids having to have a chain length of greater than C.sub.12, (c) glyceryl monocaprylate and/or glyceryl monocaprate (d) with omission of ethoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters and propoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters (e) in the pH range below 8 as active principle for the selective reduction of coryneform bacteria or as a deodorant active compound.
Claims22
A process for selectively reducing coryneform bacteria comprising applying to the bacteria a mixture comprising a selectively reducing effective amount of
- (a) dodecanoic acid (lauric acid)
- (b) at least one other fatty acid, selected from the group of unbranched saturated fatty acids having a chain length of C.sub.6-20, at least one of the other fatty acids having to have a chain length of greater than C.sub.12,
- (c) at least one of glyceryl monocaprylate or glyceryl monocaprate
- (d) with omission of ethoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters and propoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters
- wherein the pH of said mixture is below 8, said mixture being an active principle for selectively reducing coryneform bacteria.
A process for controlling external body odors which comprises applying to the external surface of the body a deodorant active composition comprising a mixture of
- (a) dodecanoic acid (lauric acid)
- (b) at least one other fatty acid, selected from the group of unbranched saturated fatty acids having a chain length of C.sub.6-20, at least one of the other fatty acids having to have a chain length of greater than C.sub.12,
- (c) glyceryl monocaprylate and/or glyceryl monocaprate
- (d) with omission of ethoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters and propoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters
- wherein the pH of said mixture is below 8, said mixture being an effective deodorant active composition.
An active principle for the selective reduction of coryneform bacteria comprising a mixture of
- (a) dodecanoic acid (lauric acid)
- (b) at least one other fatty acid, selected from the group of unbranched saturated fatty acids having a chain length of C.sub.6-20, at least one of the other fatty acids having to have a chain length of greater than C.sub.12,
- (c) at least one of glyceryl monocaprylate or glyceryl monocaprate
- (d) with omission of ethoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters and propoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters
- wherein the pH of said mixture is below 8, said mixture being an active principle for selectively reducing coryneform bacteria.
A deodorant active composition comprising a mixture of
- (a) dodecanoic acid (lauric acid)
- (b) at least one other fatty acid, selected from the group of unbranched saturated fatty acids having a chain length of C.sub.6-20, at least one of the other fatty acids having to have a chain length of greater than C.sub.12,
- (c) glyceryl monocaprylate and/or glyceryl monocaprate
- (d) with omission of ethoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters and propoxylated glyceryl fatty acid esters
- wherein the pH of said mixture is below 8, said mixture being an effective deodorant active composition.
