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.

Claims

1. A method of facilitating hand sanitizing enforcement comprising:

providing a sanitizing composition comprising between about 55 weight percent and about 80 weight percent alcohol, and a plurality of particles comprising a particle-forming material, a UV marker, wherein the plurality of particles is adapted to abrade away completely when rubbed;

applying the sanitizing composition to a user'"'"'s hands;

abrading the plurality of particles with the user'"'"'s hands by rubbing;

irradiating the user'"'"'s hands with a light source comprising UV radiation.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of particles additionally comprises at least one of an antimicrobial agent different from the alcohol, a moisturizer, an emollient, a fragrance, and a pigment.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the particle forming material is selected from the group consisting of jojoba esters, collagen and synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the particle forming material is selected from the group consisting of jojoba esters, collagen and synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising examination of the user'"'"'s hands for the emission of fluorescent light by the user.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising examination of the user'"'"'s hands for the emission of fluorescent light by a person other than the user.

10. A method of facilitating hand sanitizing enforcement comprising:

applying a sanitizing composition to a user'"'"'s hands, the sanitizing composition comprising a plurality or particles comprising a particle-forming material and a UV marker, wherein the plurality of particles is adapted to abrade away completely when rubbed;

abrading the plurality of particles of the sanitizing composition with the user'"'"'s hands;

irradiating the user'"'"'s hands with a light source comprising UV radiation; and

examination of the user'"'"'s hands for the emission of fluorescent light.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of particles additionally comprises at least one of an antimicrobial agent other than alcohol, a moisturizer, an emollient, a fragrance, and a pigment.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the particle forming material is selected from the group consisting of jojoba esters, collagen and synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the particle forming material is selected from the group consisting of jojoba esters, collagen and synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the UV marker is 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-7-(2H-Naphtho[1,2-d]Triazol-2-yl)-3-Phenyl-2-Benzopyrone.

17. A method of hand sanitizing enforcement comprising:

Applying a sanitizing composition comprising a plurality of particles comprising a particle-forming material and a UV marker to a user'"'"'s hands;

Rubbing the user'"'"'s hands to abrade the plurality of particles to release the UV marker on the user'"'"'s hands; and

Irradiating the user'"'"'s hands with a light source comprising UV radiation.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the plurality of particles additionally comprises at least one of an antimicrobial agent other than alcohol, a moisturizer, an emollient, a fragrance, and a pigment.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the particle-forming material is selected from the group consisting of jojoba esters, collagen and synthetic polymers and mixtures thereof.
