Disclosed are alcohol-free personal care compositions, e.g., hand sanitizers, that effectively deposit topically active natural antibacterial compounds (e.g., carvone and thymol) on the skin. In one aspect the disclosure relates to personal care compositions comprising, essential oils (e.g., thymol and carvone), in combination with a carboxylic acid, (e.g., lactic acid), into an alcohol-free product that leads to unexpected benefits with respect to bacterial reduction, e.g., with respect to reduction of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria.
