Anti-Microbial body sanitizerIn April 2020, a study in Emerging Infectious Diseases, Swiss and German researchers found that alcohol-based hand sanitizers recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) are effective in killing the novel coronavirus. The modified versions used in this study consisted of (1) 80% ethanol (We use 99%), 0.725% glycerol, and 0.125% hydrogen peroxide; and (2) 75% 2-propanol, 0.725% glycerol, and 0.125% hydrogen peroxide; the same base ingrediants used in our antiseptic body sanitizer. But I go further and suspend planet-friendly, green derived (cacoa, aloe, pomegranate) silver nano-particles (AgNP) and Pomegranate Extract (PE) for extra biocidal action. The AgNP acts to destroy the cell structure of the microorganism while the PE inhibits the motility of viral organisms and makes them suseptable to heat.*
The authors noted that while 30 seconds is the recommended time to rub hand sanitizers into the skin and was the time used in this study, most people don't use them for that long. I use roll-on packaging specifically to create an aggitating action that takes 30 seconds or longer to apply fully when following the recommended routine of "Paint" your hands thoroughly, pause, then rub hands 30 seconds or longer". Graceyfeet Body Sanitizer creates a barrier that serves to protect long after application. *The literature review provided below is for your education to fully understand the molecular interactions of our ingrediants. |
