Abstract
Aqueous germicidal compositions comprising a phenolic compound and a phenate and methods of treating animal skin with the compositions are provided. The compositions have a pH of from about 6-10 and comprise from about 1-2% by weight of a phenolic compound and a quantity of phenate to give a phenolic compound to phenate weight ratio of from about 0.81:1 to 10,000:1.
Claims39
An aqueous germicidal composition comprising from about 1-2% by weight of a phenolic compound and a quantity of a phenate, said composition having a pH of from about 6-10 and a weight ratio of said phenolic compound to said phenate of from about 25:1 to 2,600:1.
An aqueous germicidal composition comprising:
- from about 1-2% by weight of a phenolic compound;
- from about 0.01-2% by weight of a wetting agent;
- from about 0.5-15% by weight of an emollient;
- and
- from about 0.02-1% by weight of a thickener,
- said composition having a pH of from about 6-10.
A method of treating animal skin comprising the steps of:
- providing an aqueous germicidal composition comprising a quantity of a phenolic compound;
- adjusting the pH of the composition to between about 6-10 thereby converting a portion of said phenolic compound to a phenate,
- the weight ratio of said phenolic compound to said phenate being from about 0.81:1 to 10,000:1;
- and
- applying said composition to the skin of an animal.
An aqueous germicidal composition comprising from about 1-2% by weight of a phenolic compound, a quantity of a phenate, and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of a wetting agent, an emollient, and a thickener, said composition having a pH of from about 6-10 and a weight ratio of said phenolic compound to said phenate.of from about 0.81:1 to 10,000:1, said wetting agent selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and mixtures thereof.
An aqueous germicidal composition comprising from about 1-2% by weight of a phenolic compound, a quantity of a phenate, and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of a wetting agent, an emollient, and a thickener, said composition having a pH of from about 6-10 and a weight ratio of said phenolic compound to said phenate of from about 0.81:1 to 10,000:1, said thickener selected from the group consisting of alginates, natural gums, cellulosic polymers, and mixtures thereof.
