abstract |
The present invention relates to a sterilizing preparation that comes into contact with the human body, particularly a cleaning preparation containing liquid soap, which contains a fragrance component having activity against gram-negative bacteria. Such a composition contacts a target site, such as the skin surface, for only a short time, usually no more than 30 seconds. Therefore, the antibacterial action is bactericidal and needs to be rapid. Furthermore, the bactericidal activity needs to be high enough to ensure the effect even when applied to a wet surface and diluted. |
