The composition consists essentially of between 50 and 91% by volume of isopropyl alcohol, between 0.5 and 1.5% by volume of a skin emollient, between 0.19 and 2.5% by volume of a scent, between 0.3 and 1.5% by volume of a cationic detergent, between 0.5 and 8% by volume of an nonionic detergent and the remainder up to 100% by volume of water. The alcohol acts as a disinfectant, the skin emollient prevents drying of the skin, the scent masks the smell of the alcohol, the two detergents act as cleaning agents and the water serves as a carrier to cut the proportions of the various ingredients that make up the composition. |
