• The vast majority of hand sanitizers are alcohol based.
• Many do not work at all!  It has been an established fact that an alcohol concentration under 60 percent will no kill microbes and some hand sanitizers have under 60%.
• All alcohol based sanitizers only work while the alcohol level is above 60% which means that after 3 to 6 SECONDS they no longer work.
• Alcohol based hand sanitizer is a fire hazard.  Alcohol is classified by the National Fire Protection Association as a Class 1B fire hazard.  While using alcohol based hand sanitizer any spark can set your hands on fire.
• Younger children can get alcohol poisoning from licking alcohol based hand sanitizer from their hands.  Younger children have also been known to drink hand sanitizer or overuse it and get sick.
• Alcohol based hand sanitizers are known to have irritating effects on the skin.  Alcohol hand rubs work by stripping the outer layers of the skin, thus destroying the germs present on the skin.  Overuse will inevitably cause dry and abraded skin and effect skin health.
• Alcohol in abrasions or cuts can be quite painful.
• Some states have outlawed alcohol based hand sanitizers in classrooms.
  
  

Hand sanitizers have been shown to be quite effective against the spread of germs and disease so what is the answer?  How do we get the effectiveness we want and need in a safer product?

The answer is PureWorks, a revolutionary new sanitizer based on benzethonium chloride.  Benzethonium chloride is recognized world-wide as a safe and effective antimicrobial compound. This “fourth-generation” quaternary ammonium compound is gentle to the skin while being tough on bacteria.

These non-toxic, alcohol-free products exhibit exceptional antibacterial activity. They are gentle to the skin and do not sting or irritate when used to clean and treat minor cuts and scrapes. In fact, both of these products comply with or exceed all requirements set forth by the US Food and Drug Administration for antibacterial first aid antiseptics. Our Antibacterial Foam and Spray products help protect against bacterial contamination and help guard against the risk of infection.

PureWorks Antibacterial Foam and Spray represent a break through technology for fighting infection.
