Abstract

The use of alkane-1,2-diols for inactivating skin microorganisms by topical application includes 1,2-Octanediol used against the germs that cause acne and dandruff, as well as those that cause mastitis in dairy animals, and its activity strengthened by a synergistic interaction with gels such as glycerol poly(meth)acrylate.
