  • Sanitizer - efficacy data drops when we apply more

    Posted by ForFuture on November 4, 2024 at 10:28 pm

    Currently working on developing a new hand sanitizer. As a part of the process, I tested efficacy test and captured that result of efficacy data goes down at 12th applications compared to the one that I captured at 1st application. This can be happened based on my experience, but at the same time, the drop is very much significant, and I am expecting that this is happening because there is a build-up during multiple applications. (please share if you have a different idea)

    My question is, I am trying to re-formulate (could be de-formulate or substitute raw materials) this formula in order to give me a better clinical efficacy data, and I would like to hear your opinion!

    There are the main key RMs (not all) in the formula.

    Ethanol

    PEG Dimethicone

    Cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate (CPC)

    Glycerine

    Alkyl Benzoate

    Dicaprylyl Carbonate

    Aloe vera

    Thank you for sharing your idea!

    What “efficacy” is that? What test and what data?

    We need to know the testing procedure and efficacy criteria to answer the question
