The CLEAN line has been quite busy expanding so I’m glad I got back in touch with what they are doing. Their Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Cream is a unique way to not only moisturize but rid hands of icky germs. I had heard about this one other time but this one seems more developed as it contains what they call SafetyDerm technology. The active ingredient is benzethonium chloride and it protects hands for up to 4 hours and won’t dry them out. It’s also alcohol and paraben-free. Easy to tote 1oz for $10 @ cleanperfume.com.

I really love this time of year. Not only do people get gussied up but so do products! So here we are with a big task ahead of us for the next month, to pick the best products to make up our Gift Guide. Makeup? Body? Hair? Nails? We’ll pick some from each category and then some. Just look for the picture of the bow in the corner! And we’ll also be rolling out another Cleaning out the Closet contest shortly too.

With so many parties and get-togethers, do yourself and everyone a favor and carry FRAIS Hand Sanitizer in your evening bag. It comes to us from Australia and is made from 66% sugarcane alcohol that kills 99.9% of germs and contains eight essential oils like ginger, tangerine and cardamom. Hand sanitizing just got chic! $3.50/5 use pocket size or $33/14-5 use squeezies @ amazon.com.

We’ve all heard of and used hand sanitizers in the gel and foam form. How about a hand sanitizer lotion?? PUREWORKS Antibacterial Lotion ($22/8oz, $12/4oz) is a first of its kind in a few different ways. Besides being in the form of a creamy lotion, it’s also FDA compliant as a First-aid antiseptic. I don’t recall hearing any other company in this category touting that fact.
Did you know that a lot of the popular brands are made up of mostly are mainly Ethyl Alcohol? Ones that contain alcohol supposedly work better than non-alcohol ones but Pureworks’ alcohol-free products claim to work just as good. Just short of doing a skin swab, how would one test this fact? Since I don’t own a chemistry lab, I used this one when I need to moisturize my hands anyways so I take their word for it. Their site has some interesting facts to back up their claims so read more @ handefend.com
