The stuff inside

Bad germs vs. Good germs

• Alcohol kills bad and good bacteria (when your good bacteria is gone, you are actually more susceptible to bugs that can make you sick...yikes)


• Synthetic antibacterials like Triclosan & Benzalkonium Chloride may lead to super germs (we prefer Super Woman).


• Clean George^® Hand Purifier does not promote germ resistance.

Love your hands

• Repeated alcohol use on the skin can cause defatting-- What in the heckity-heck does that mean? Well... would you ever consider using alcohol on your face every day- even alcohol with "aloe" in it? Probably not, so why do we do it with our hands?


• What does Clean George^® feel like?...Feels like a moisturizer & takes about 10 seconds to feel dry (sweaty palms take a little longer).
