The use of alkanes -1,2-diol to inactivate skin microorganisms by topical application is new. In particular, 1,2-octanediol proves effective against the germs responsible for acne, dandruff of the scalp as well as the germs responsible for mastitis of dairy animals. Its action is reinforced by a synergy with gels of glyceryl poly (meth) acrylate type. |
