Attention: the following is a product review for PBN, or Parent Bloggers Network. (See the icon?) For a couple freebies (e.g., books, sanitizing hand wipes), I have agreed to endorse the things I like. If I don't like them, you won't hear about them here.
I don't mean to alarm you, but right now, at this very moment, you are covered with germs.
So is your computer keyboard, the doorknob, the telephone, the refrigerator door handle, the light switch, the water faucet handle in your bathroom...shall I continue?
Well, if you insist.
Consider how many sneezed-on, germ-encrusted fingertips touch elevator buttons, stair railings, children's toys in waiting rooms, shopping cart handles, exercise equipment at the gym...
Ew.
Soap and water work wonders on filthy, germy hands, but you're not always near a sink.
Thankfully, the good folks at CleanWell have developed a delightful alternative to those alcohol-based, abrasive, drying, chemical-smelling hand sanitizing gels we torture ourselves with every day.
Go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief. Look down at the cracked, scaly skin on your hands, or look over at your child who's about to lick his fingers after touching every available surface at the mall, and know this: hope is alive. Finally, there's a safe, natural, convenient hand sanitizer that's gentle on the skin and pleasing to the nose.
CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizer smells clean and fresh - perhaps a combination of thyme, lemon, and lime. There are no alcohol or chemical smells because there is no alcohol.
So how does it disinfect? Their active ingredient is something called Ingenium (ingenious!), a combination of essential plant oils including thyme, an herb known for its antiseptic properties.
According to the company website, "The essential oils found in CleanWell's Ingenium are proven effective in warding off germs because microbes do not become tolerant or resistant to them."
You can spray on CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizer from a convenient, 1-fluid ounce bottle, or wipe off germs with an individually-packaged wipe. Either way, your hands will feel dry, soft, and clean. Mine did.
Look, not all germs are bad, but some are very, very bad. So please, go wash your hands this instant, because your keyboard - well, you know.
And if you can't find a sink, I highly recommend CleanWell's hand sanitizing products. Check out their website for more information.

somehow...
Thanks so much for the tip!
With my girlfriend so sick with cancer, I have to Purell myself to high heaven when we are going through the chemo...
I can not take the chance of anything being on me when I go with her as it is a matter of life and death...
I well check it out and see if it is available up here...
Pendullum - it's not yet available in Canada. In fact, we had to limit our reviewers to folks in the US because the product is still undergoing approval in Canada.
But I'm sure someone could send you some... ;)
Great review, Ruth!! And I second your point about writing about what you like. The PBN are not yes-moms or yes-dads.
And biodegradable, I suppose? I'm on my way to check it out. Thanks!
Hmm, astroturf campaign?
Seriously trying to find out some information about Ingenium. If it is "patented" then the ingredients should be freely available information (the whole point of patents).
I'm sorry, plant-based does not equal non-toxic. Just look at all those natural cleaning products currently available that use natural ingredients consumers would rather avoid, such as petroleum distillates, some of which can cause cancer. And just because a cleaning product is biodegradable and made from plant-based sources doesn't mean that it is without potential adverse effects on health.
Plant-based ingredients included in some green cleaners include limonene (a citrus-based oil), pine oil, and the foaming agent coconut diethanolamide -- all of which can cause allergic dermatitis. And a recent study of natural and nontoxic consumer products found the suspected cancer-causing chemical 1,4-dioxane in roughly half of 100 tested products -- including several dishwashing liquids with words such as "Earth friendly" and "eco" in their brand names.
