1. A sanitizing composition comprising:
- a viscous liquid comprising alcohol, water, and a thickener; and
a plurality of essentially homogeneous particles comprising;
a particle-forming material; and
an antimicrobial agent different than the alcohol in the viscous liquid;
wherein the alcohol is present in a range between about 55% to about 80% by weight; and
wherein the plurality of particles are adapted to abrade away completely when rubbed.

Abstract
The invention provides a sanitizing composition in the form of a viscous liquid or gel suitable for use as a handwash composition comprising alcohol, water and a thickener wherein the viscous liquid or gel has particles suspended therein, wherein said particles provide the composition with a granular texture and are capable of being worn away when rubbed. The particles may deliver one or more agents to the skin e.g. antimicrobial, antibacterial or antiviral agents, emollients and/or moisturizers, fragrances, colorings or UV markers.
