Abstract
A skin cleansing composition suitable for removing ink and other stains from the hands and arms of a user includes an effective amount of a low molecular weight alcohol having from one to twelve carbon atoms and an effective amount of a peroxide releasing agent, e.g., a percarbonate salt, preferably sodium percarbonate, such that together, the alcohol and percarbonate salt provide a synergistic reaction that effectively removes ink from the skin of the user. Other additives such as fillers, abrasives, and detergents may be employed to provide further cleansing action.
Claims22
A composition for cleansing ink from skin, the composition comprising:
- a low molecular weight aliphatic monohydric alcohol having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms;
- and
- a peroxide releasing agent, wherein the composition includes an effective amount of both the alcohol and the peroxide releasing agent to remove ink from the skin of a user.
An ink-removing skin cleansing composition comprising:
- from about 40 to about 80 percent by weight aliphatic monohydric of a low molecular weight alcohol having from 1 to 12 carbon a toms;
- from about 10 to about 20 percent by weight of a peroxide releasing agent;
- from about 10 to about 40 percent by weight of at least one abrasive;
- and
- from about 1 to about 3 percent by weight of an inert filler,
- wherein the low molecular weight alcohol and the peroxide releasing agent together provide a synergistic reaction to effectively remove ink from the skin of a user.
