This natural disinfectant composition is composed of natural essential oils, fruit acids, and alcohols that work together to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria. The botanicals used in this skin disinfectant have emollient and moisturizing properties and are very mild to the skin. The botanicals can be used as non-irritating, non-toxic skin and surface disinfectants, such as in antimicrobial soaps, creams, lotions, cosmetic products, and wound dressings in home or clinical settings.
This formulation has been proven effective against Staphylococcus Aureus, or Staph A, without the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
Disinfectants derived from natural botanicals are mild to the skin, but effectively kill many bacteria found in hospital and clinical settings. Existing skin and surface disinfectants are made from toxic synthetic antimicrobials that can cause skin drying, irritation, and allergic reactions.
Mild but effective disinfectants are in high demand for use in human and veterinary clinical settings, surgical procedures, personal care, and household applications.
