Abstract:

The aim of the project is to create a new generation cream gel-type disinfectant with multiple functions: disinfection, hydration and prevention of skin dysbiosis by combining the functions of hand hygiene with those of restoring the hydrolipidic barrier. The innovative character of the proposed technology is determined by: (i) the use of the disinfection and hydration property of lactic acid, and the valorization of active compounds extracted from aloe plant material, enriched with microelements; (ii) the formulation of the gel-type cream as a heterogeneous, stable system for encapsulating active substances through a sustainable process for obtaining cold emulsions, a suitable process for thermolabile active substances; (iii) the use of lipids of natural origin that favor the maintenance of a normal microbiome, reducing the loss of water from the skin. The objectives of the project are: the development of a functional pilot plant for the manufacture of skin disinfectants; validation of disinfectant production technology, in the industrial environment; demonstration of the functionality of the technology in the industrial environment by testing the physico-chemical, rheological, dermatological properties and the biocidal efficacy, concerning to approval for commercialization. Based on these we believe that the multi-effect cream gel-type, for human hygiene disinfectant/s (TP1) created by the project represents a viable alternative to alcohol-based hand gels.
