What? Sephora doesn’t have an organic hand santizer?

If you're a Sephora kind of gal, but you want an alternative to all the toxic and cancer causing chemicals in so many of the moisturizing products - Clean George is a great alternative.

We couldn't find an organic hand sanitizer at Sephora, but Sephora shoppers are writing to let us know they love Clean George! Thanks Sephora shoppers! We like you too.

They mentioned that what they love about Clean George is that it moisturizes like crazy, it's not greasy and they like that it is cleaning their hands. What could be better than that? Well... it is completely eco conscious from ingredients to packaging with organic ingredients and no harsh chemicals.

H1N1 talk, natural prevention & our favorites

We were sent some "information", that we found interesting about the H1N1 vaccines and how it seems the preservative Thimoserol has "snuck it's way" into the multi dose vials. Also, beware if you have egg allergies because they are grown on eggs apparently. Good to know.

The bloggers also felt like a great natural prevention for the flu was using Clean George. We'd also like to second their comment about building the immune system. Super important!

Our favorite green formula is "Pure Synergy", - the ultimate super food and we love "New Chapter", - All Flora pro biotic. Love them. Love them.

Eating on the go with Clean George

When you're out and about and especially when you are "taking out",
keep Clean George on hand ... literally! Lot's of people are conscious of the extra waste when they get take out food. So, many are saying no to all the extras that end up in their bag. We think this and carrying Clean George when you're eating on the go is a good thing!

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.

How alcohol kills germs

Hi friend,

When we sat down with our chemists, we found out that alcohol sanitizers kill everything... good germs, bad germs and with excessive use can cause defatting of the skin (whaaaat? Basically it can prematurely age your skin if you're using it alot, sounds lovely). Some companies add extra ingredients like aloe, but when you're bottle contains 60 - 70% alcohol (the standard % range)... well, you get the picture.
