Abstract
An antibacterial soap composition and method of making the same in which the product is especially useful for wound cleansing, pre-operative cleansing of surgical sites, sanitizing, surgical scrubbing and the like containing an iodophore as its essential bacteriostat. The iodophore selected from the group consisting of povidone-iodine, polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine ("PVP-iodine") and the like, is disposed in a unique soap base which is characterized by its remarkable compatibility with iodophores. This soap base is predicated upon saturated fatty acids such as isostearic acid, dodecanoic acid and the like and obtains a degree of iodophore stability which has heretofore been obtainable only in detergent-base formulations. The deleterious side effects of detergent materials are eliminated. Both bars and liquid soaps are described.
