1. A foaming antimicrobial dermal cleanser comprising:
- a. a cationic active ingredient;
b. from about 0.01 wt. % to about 7.5 wt. % of a cationic compatible surfactant, wherein the cationic compatible surfactant is an alkyl amine oxide and/or an alkyl ether amine oxide;
c. from about 1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a foam boosting agent;
d. from about 5 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a foam structure enhancing agent, wherein the foam structure enhancing agent comprises polyethylene glycol, hexylene glycol, myristamide diisopropanolamide, and phenoxyethanol;
e. a skin conditioning agent; and
f. water;
wherein said cleanser is substantially free of anionic surfactants and triclosan.

Abstract
The antimicrobial foaming composition of the present invention comprises a cationic active ingredient, a cationic compatible surfactant, a foam booster, a foam structure enhancing agent, dermal adjuvants, and a carrier. The present antimicrobial compositions are free of the antimicrobial agents triclosan (i.e., 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′hydroxy-diphenylether) and lower alcohols. They are also free of anionic surfactants. The foaming compositions have rapid cidal activity, provide stable, copious foam, and exhibit enhanced tissue (e.g. skin) compatibility.
