The purpose of the present invention is to provide a disinfectant composition which exerts excellent sterilizing and disinfecting effects by containing a large amount of a lower alcohol such as ethanol, and which is not sticky, while having an adequate viscosity, and is able to protect the skin to be in a moist state. The present invention provides a disinfectant composition which is characterized by containing (A) from 69% by mass to 90% by mass of a lower alcohol that has from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, (B) a first water-soluble thickening agent that is selected from among carboxyvinyl polymers and alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymers, and (C) 1% by mass or more of an oil component that has an IOB value of 0.1 or more. It is preferable that the disinfectant composition according to the present invention additionally contains (D) a second water-soluble thickening agent that is selected from among cellulose-based water-soluble polymers. |
