Hand and Body Wash Products
Extra measure of protection. Every day, people come in contact with millions of germs, including bacteria that can cause illnesses and lead to missed school and work days and medical bills. While frequent hand washing and good personal hygiene are essential for preventing the spread of germs, antibacterial products provide consumers with extra germ-fighting protection.
Effective. Antibacterial personal care products, depending on their active ingredient(s) and specific formulation, are effective at killing, reducing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria that can cause odor, skin infections, intestinal illnesses or other commonly transmitted diseases.
Safe. Antibacterial personal care products are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The safety of these products is supported by more than 30 years of use by consumers as well as extensive scientific data.
Convenient. Because most people lead busy lives, they prefer products that are convenient and easy to use. For example, antibacterial hand gels allow consumers to get rid of germs on their hands anytime and anywhere, even when soap and water are not available.
Popular. Hygiene-conscious consumers choose antibacterial products because these products not only help get rid of germs, but, depending on their active ingredient, can also control the growth of bacteria.
