Abstract

An antimicrobially effective composition includes a) at least 0.15% by weight of bispyridinium alkane, b) at least 3.5% by weight of humectant and c) water. Upon dilution with water, the composition produces a solution with an osmolality of from 230 to 350 mOsmol/kg and is free from surfactant. It is used as an antiseptic and is suitable for use in a method for the disinfection of injured or uninjured skin of a human being or animal, preference being given to use in the case of newborns, in particular those born prematurely.
