Can Sanitizer Clean Your Hands Without Containing Alcohol?
Alcohol vs. Non-Alcohol Sanitizer: Making the Safer Choice
In recent years, hand sanitizer has become a staple in many households, with alcohol-based options flying off the shelves at unprecedented rates. However, concerns have been raised about the safety and effectiveness of alcohol-based sanitizers, prompting a closer examination of their non-alcoholic counterparts.
Here are a few reasons why it may be wise to reconsider the use of alcohol-based sanitizers:
-
Recalls and Contaminants: Alcohol-based hand sanitizers have been subject to multiple recalls by the FDA, citing unacceptable levels of benzene, acetaldehyde, and acetal contaminants. These substances pose serious health risks, including lung failure, blood clots, and severe dizziness.
-
Skin Irritation: The use of alcohol on the skin can lead to severe dryness and irritation, thereby delaying the healing process for cuts and abrasions.
-
Cancer Concerns: Numerous reports have linked alcohol exposure to various forms of cancer, raising significant health concerns.
But fear not—there's a natural alternative that's both effective and safe: Lemongrass Hand Sanitizer. Our formulation harnesses the power of nature's remedies, including aloe vera, tea tree oil, and lemongrass.
