Cruelty Free
Cruelty Free is a certification process through PETA that labels products that are not tested on animals. All companies that are included on PETA’s cruelty-free list have signed a statement verifying that they don’t use ingredients or create finished products that help conduct or pay for any tests on animals.
Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

This hand sanitizer lives in my purse. I really wanted to have a plastic-free option for hand sanitizer and found this at just the right time during the pandemic. At first I was nervous about carrying a glass bottle in my purse all the time, but it is super sturdy and I use it all the time. The smell is a strong peppermint that I love!

We need more sustainable options, especially now in the world of masks and hand sanitizer. Would be nice if there was a refill but I will refill with other sanitizers.

I really like this because it’s a spray which makes it easy to use. The bottle was bigger than I was epecting, but it’s just an added bonus. The smell isn’t ‘clinical’ either like other hand sanitizers. I’m happy with this product.

The first hand sanitizer that dries fast and doesn’t dry out my hands. And the smell doesn’t give me a terrible headache!

it’s great to find hand sanitizer in a glass bottle. The peppermint gives it a slight tingly feeling.

This is literally the best stuff on Earth! lol I typically hate sanitizer but I’m in love with this product! I had a business beach trip two weeks ago and constantly applied this but my hands never dried out and always smelled amazing! I also didn’t notice a change in the product after having to leave it in my car or carrying it around with me in the hot temperature which made me very happy! I love that it is none toxic so it is safe for kids. I loved it so much that I’ve already ordered five more and I’ll probably order more for my friends too! It’s probably one of my favorite finds on EarthHero during the Covid-19 pandemic! Thanks!

I usual hate using hand sanitizer because of the smell and the way it dries out my hands. Not so with this one. The smell is so nice, fresh and pleasant and lingers a bit after applying. It does not dry out my hands and generally helps my hands be a little soft (maybe due to the aloe vera). Very happy with this purchase!

Question
Rochelle –
Greetings – Two questions: does this eliminate COVID-19 and other viruses, and, what % of the contents is 70% isopropyl alcohol? Thank you. Peace, Rochelle

Hi, Rochelle! The CDC guidelines state that an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can be used when soap and water are not accessible, so this 70% sanitizer fits the bill! The majority of this formula is the active ingredient 70% isopropyl alcohol to prevent infection, with Natural Peppermint, Eucalyptus Essential Oils, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin E to keep hands soft and hydrated and hydrogen peroxide to eliminate contamination!
