A stable and safe skin antiseptic solution comprises chlorhexidine, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of chlorhexidine (e.g. chlorhexidine digluconate), or a mixture thereof, dimethyl lauramide/myristamide, and water. Said solution is essentially free of coconut oil diethanolamine concentrate (“cocamide DEA”), a known carcinogen. The active antiseptic ingredient, chlorhexidine (or its salts), is a di(4-chlorophenyldiguanido) compound. The functions of dimethyl lauramide/myristamide in said solution include, but not limited to, an aesthetics enhancer, a foam stabilizer, a solubilizer, and a fragrance. Said solution is specifically formulated to be safe with a reduced risk of carcinogenicity, and be capable of producing a stable and long lasting foam. The active antiseptic agent is evenly distributed in said solution and in said foam, respectively.
