FDA rules on hand sanitizers

Hi friend,

We'd like to share some info we found very interesting- hope it's useful for you too!

The FDA regulates the word "sanitizer" as well as statements about how many germs a product kills. A product can ONLY be called a hand "sanitizer" if it contains alcohol or a number of synthetic antibacterials like Triclosan or benzalkonium chloride (BTW, Thyme oil is not one of the FDA approved options).

So, if you want an alcohol free product, READ your ingredient list on the bottle. If you happen to have a hand sanitizer with only a "patented formula" that does not list what's in that formula.... hmmm, I'd suggest looking up the patent and seeing what's in there. Either it's got to have alcohol or they are mislabeling.
