The present invention relates to a cleaning or soap product, in particular personal care product, in particular hand washing soap, comprising a first chemical and/or mechanical mechanism for generating a first color transition of the cleaning or soap product, and a second chemical and/or mechanical mechanism for generating a second color transition. Numerous embodiments and chemical-technical variants of the invention are disclosed.

A soap bar is provided, comprising: a soap; water; a cellulose derivative selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyalkyl alkyl cellulose; and an additive selected from the group consisting of a psyllium, a sodium silicate and mixtures thereof; wherein the soap bar is a solid.

The disclosure provides compositions and methods for making a colorized solution of an aqueous disinfectant that is both stable in bulk solution and will fade to clear within a predetermined period of time after being applied to a surface, for example as a spray or film. The compositions and methods described here allow an end user to visualize both the extent of coverage and the duration of contact of the disinfectant with the surface, thereby providing more efficient disinfection of the surface.

Natural liquid potassium soap compositions and methods of manufacturing and using the same are provided with thickening by the addition of chloride salts, such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The natural liquid potassium soap compositions may contain one or more fatty acids with carbon length ranging from four (C4) to twenty-two (C22) or natural fatty acid mixtures with coconut oil, olive oil, tallow, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and/or tall oil fatty acids which are saponified with lye. The saponification lye is preferably potassium hydroxide. Preferred embodiments contain potassium salts of fatty acids comprising at least oleic acid (C18:1 cis-9), olive oils, coconut oils or mixtures thereof. The chloride salt is added in either solid or liquid form following saponification and neutralization.

Alcohol-potentiated antimicrobial soap formulations include an alcohol-potentiated antimicrobial agent ranging from 0.10 to 2.0% (v/v), an alcohol potentiator ranging from 10.0 to 25.0% (v/v), non-ionic surfactants ranging from 0.25 to 5.0% (v/v), an emollient ranging from 0.10 to 3.0% (v/v), solvents ranging from 0.5 to 2.0% (v/v), and a carrier fluid ranging from 70.0 to 90.0% (v/v). Also, alcohol-potentiated hard surface sanitizer formulations include an alcohol-potentiated antimicrobial agent ranging from 0.10 to 1.00% (v/v), 200-proof ethanol ranging from 15.00 to 25.00% (v/v), and water. Also, alcohol-potentiated hard surface disinfectant formulations include a surfactant ranging from 0.50 to 2.00% (v/v), 190 to 200-proof ethanol ranging from 15.00 to 25.00% (v/v), an alcohol-potentiated antimicrobial agent ranging from 0.10 to 2.50, a chelating agent ranging from 0.10 to 1.50% (v/v), and water.
