Problem:

Many hand soaps on the market contain ingredients and chemicals that just aren’t good for your skin, including synthetic dyes, fragrances containing phthalates, and synthetic preservatives with parabens. They aren’t natural, and they can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling dry and rough.

Solution:

Our Peppermint Foaming Hand Wash is free of these unnecessary ingredients.

Natural Peppermint Oil provides its invigorating scent. The luxurious foaming action is due to Earth-friendly Coconut and Apple Amino Acids. Panthenol, Allantoin and Aloe combine to provide extra moisture and soothing properties.

• Wet hands. Dispense 1-2 pumps of Peppermint Foaming Hand Wash onto hands. Scrub. Rinse.
• Scrub hands and each finger, including cuticles and under nails. Rinse and dry hands thoroughly using a clean microfibre towel.
• When refilling the dispenser with the refill, leave about 2 cm of space between the hand wash and the top of the bottle to allow for creation of foam.

The Foaming Hand wash contains SAFE ingredients as measured by the Environmental Working Group. All ingredients in the formula rank a 0, 1 or 2 per EWG. Key ingredients are as follows:

• Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate (EWG ranking: 0) — Derived from Coconut Oil, this surfactant gently cleanses the hands.
• Glycerin (EWG ranking: 0)— Vegetable-based humectant that draws moisture to the skin, hydrating the hands.
• Coco-Glucoside (EWG ranking: 0)—Mild surfactant derived from the dried pulp of the Coconut fruit and sugar. Well-tolerated even by those with the most sensitive skin.
• Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids (EWG ranking: 0)—Mild surfactant derived from Apple Juice Essential Amino Acids.
• Mentha Piperita Oil (EWG ranking: 1)—Commonly referred to as Peppermint, the thin, brittle leaves of this plant emit an aromatic and cooling aroma. Peppermint comprises a high percentage of natural essential oils, as well as Menthol and Tannins. It is known for its refreshing, cooling, antiseptic and anti-irritant properties.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (EWG ranking: 1)—Contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes and natural sugars and has a pH almost identical to that of skin (4.5 – 6). Aloe helps hydrate, soothe, nourish and protect the skin.
• Panthenol (EWG ranking: 1)—Also known as Vitamin B5, Panthenol nourishes and lends moisture to the skin.
• Allantoin (EWG ranking: 1)—A soothing anti-irritant and skin protectant that increases skin’s water content.

• The number of germs on your fingertips doubles after you use the restroom.
• Try to avoid touching your face with your hands. Here's why: According to WebMC.com, about 80% of infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. When you unknowingly touch your face, the germs can enter through your eyes, nose and mouth. And those germs can also be transmitted to others through shaking hands (direct transmission) or handling items that others then touch (indirect transmission).
