Fight germs without becoming "that mom"
I've got a bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse, as I'm sure all of you do, too. It feels like an imperative, even though I'll pick actual soap-and-water hand washing over hand sanitizer whenever I can. So when I first heard about "a new hand sanitizer" I may not have been overly excited, you know, until I found out that in addition to being all-natural, it continues killing germs for hours after use.

Sound impossible? It's not. staSAFE's active ingredient, derived from silver and zinc, has been shown to reduce bacteria on the hands more than two hours after application, which means you don't have to whip it out every five minutes the next time you're at one of those birthday parties at a "fun" (read: germ-coated) establishment. It also claims to be effective against things like H1N1 and MRSA, and thanks to the non-toxic ingredients, you can splurt it into the hands of even very young children without worries.

From a purely cosmetic angle? Thumbs up. It's alcohol-free and packed with aloe vera, so my hands didn't feel icky and dried out afterward. Why isn't all hand sanitizer like this? -Mir

You can purchase all natural hand sanitizer directly from staSAFE.
