Not All Hand Sanitizers Are Made the Same

How Our Natural Hand Sanitizer Compares with the Rest:
Are They EcoConscious and Non-Toxic?

 

 

You may be shocked to learn how many harmful ingredients can be found in common hand sanitizers. Contrary to popular belief, hand sanitizer is not always just alcohol and aloe vera. If you walked into your nearest drug store and read the ingredients list on the back of many sanitizers, you would find a long list of potentially-harmful chemicals.

For this reason, Stream2Sea has created another simple, yet innovative solution to potentially toxic body care products in today’s marketplace. Our Hand Sanitizer is likely the most moisturizing and natural hand sanitizer on the market today.

Check out this breakdown of how we have created a product to help keep you and our planet safe:

Test Results for Hand Sanitizer - Kills 99.9% of Germs in 15 Seconds

Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60–95% are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Our formulas contain a minimum of 62% ethanol in accordance with the FDA monograph recommendations and is enriched with supporting botanicals. To meet the claim of killing more than 99.9% of bacteria, the formula must kill the germs within 60 seconds. Ours was effective at the lowest level tested of only 15 seconds.

Our hand sanitizer was consistently effective in exerting bactericidal activity with a greater that 99.9% reduction against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
