Technical Details & Test Data
- Efficacy
Studies were run on four formulas using a 0.75% concentration of Mikrokill® COS. The protocol used was a modification of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA) Challenge test using a 3 week re-challenge time period instead of a 4 week period. All samples were inoculated at the beginning of the study, sampled at 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days. The samples were diluted in neutralizer and plated quantitatively for viable organisms at all sampling times. After 21 days, all samples were re-inoculated and subjected to a second challenge.
