Hand sanitizers are everywhere & they are so cheap, people think it's just great to have them around. But there are dangers lurking in them that can cause illness & toxicity in our body. They can cause our skin to absorb 100X more of the hormone disruptor BPA. They don't actually protect you against germs. IF they work, they must re-applied repeatedly for them to be somewhat effective. Basically, for them to work you have to soak your hands in it constantly, but then you run a risk of many health problems that are associated with those ingredients. One of the most toxic is Triclosan! This toxic chemical is found in sanitizers, soaps, dish soaps, shaving gels, toothpastes & more! It's been linked to some serious health issues including cancer & hormone disruption. The CDC (do we trust them?) found triclosan present in the urine of at least 75% of Americans -- that's a lot of pee!! Bottom line, don't use it!! Washing one's hands in hot water with soap cleans them just as good, if not better. OR find an all-natural alternative!
