Presented are compositions for disinfection of the skin. The composition is characterized in that it contains in an aqueous medium; 0.5 to 10 w/v % of chlorhexidine digluconate, 5 to 25 w/v % of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, 1 to 5 w/v % of fatty acid diethanolamide, 1 to 5 w/v % of alkyldimethylamine oxide, and macrogol at less than 10 w/v %. The polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and macrogol may be replaced with 10 to 35 w/v % of polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. The composition may further contain 5 w/v % or lower polyoxyethylene lanolin. Since the composition will not solidify even when its solvent is evaporated, the plugging of the outlet opening of the dispenser will be avoided. |
