Who thought we would become such connoisseurs of hand sanitizers? In this COVID age, finding your ideal one can be up there with the perfect shade of lipstick or most comfortable pair of shoes! News stories have lately highlighted the fact that some of the conventional (read: chemical-laden) hand sanitizers contain high levels of toxins. Well that’s great – you are trying to protect yourself from infection but instead you’re adding to your toxic load? Why should you have to choose between killing germs and applying toxins? You don’t! There is a better way!
Let me explain. I had a conversation with a colleague at the beginning of the pandemic. We were trying to find the right way to explain why natural is better in personal care products such as hand sanitizers, to be specific. This is the explanation we came to: if your hand sanitizer is synthetic (chemical-based), it will kill germs – studies have proven this. But what does it offer to you, the human applying it to the skin? It adds to your toxic load, that’s all.
So what does a natural hand sanitizer offer? If it is composed of the right ingredients – 70% isopropyl alcohol for example – it will also kill germs. But then – here is the great news! – it will work with your body to continue fighting those germs, supporting your immune system, even assisting your respiratory system with healthy breathing. A multi-faceted and remarkable reaction – not just germ killing.
So be a label reader to find your perfect hand sanitizer and go natural! Rosy Glow Wellness has a great-smelling one that contains a host of amazing essential oils.
