Abstract
This invention relates to a viscous epidermal cleaner and disinfectant using peroxidase, peroxide, an iodide compound, surfactants and buffering agents to control the pH when admixed in water for forming a viscous composition with a pH between 3.0 and 6.5 and a viscosity of not less than 1.2 centipoise. The active components are maintained inactive until admixed in a defined proportion with water. The pH at which the peroxidase is stored is between 7.0 and 9.0 and the pH of the admixture of the active components is between 3.0 and 6.5. Alternatively, all of the components of this application can be shipped as dry powders or tablets and dissolved prior to use to yield a viscous aqueous environment that will be applied to the epidermis with no further dilution.
