“…Antiseptics are commonly defined as substances that kill (bactericidal) or inhibit (bacteriostatic) the growth of bacteria [35]. The antimicrobial preservative chlorocresol (CLC, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol), the detergent cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC, 1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride) which can reduce gingivitis and was previously able to prevent dental plaque [36,37] and polyaminopropyl biguanide (PBI), also known as polyhexamethylene biguanide, that has been shown to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus amongst others and is used as disinfectant in swimming pools [38,39], were tested here because they have known antimicrobial properties and are already commercially used. Therefore obtaining approval for a new application would be simplified.…”

Vaginosis seems to be more severe, fastidious and afflictive in lesbians, since they are accustomed to employ sexual toys and use to douche more frequently that women who lead a life more correct and regular (even having multiple sex encounters during the week). Many are the OTC remedies, especially acid syndets and detergents, or many infusions made with particular herbs (Aloe barbadensis, coconut milk, garlic decoction, tea tree oil, mauve or rhodiola extracts), even if they yield to relaps too often. Many Researchers have proposed the usage of amphoteric tensides for this scope of treating vaginosis, even there is no hitherto reliable sources in the international literature. The AA have made up their mind to create a cosmetic cocktail containg a biological protease that acts as an amphoteric surfactant (presenting the two hydrophilic and lypophilic moyeties) and the soy lecithin. Results appear to be interesting and satisfying.
