Made from only water, and essential oils, clean4mee hand spray is a safe alternative to harmful hand sanitizers and leaves a fresh, clean scent.  Below is an excerpt from an article by Dr. Mercola on hand washing and the dangers of using popular hand sanitizers.

Why it’s Wise to Avoid Most Popular Hand Sanitizers

Almost half of all hand cleansers sold in the United States contain antibacterial compounds. These antibacterial compounds are not only a contributing factor to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but triclosan, the active ingredient in most antibacterial products, has been shown to kill human cells.

Those that contain alcohol as the active ingredient, instead of triclosan, are a better option, as germs don't become resistant to alcohol. However, many commercial varieties of alcohol-based hand sanitizers contain other harmful ingredients .

In fact, the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database rates Purell hand sanitizer a “high hazard,” with a score of seven out of 10 (with 10 being the most toxic). They point out that ingredients used in this product are linked to:

• Cancer

• Developmental/reproductive toxicity

• Allergies and immunotoxicity

• Neurotoxicity

• Endocrine disruption

• Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive)

• Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs)

• Biochemical or cellular level changes

Are There Safer Hand Sanitizer Options?

Yes, but you’ll need to become an avid label reader to find them. Look for natural, organic varieties that do not contain triclosan or other harmful ingredients, and instead contain safe plant-based ingredients.
