HEALTHY HANDS

The Germ Eraser breaks down and removes germs, moisturizes skin with Shea Butter, and is paraben free and non-toxic. Studies have found that hand washing with soap can reduce the amount of respiratory illnesses in the general population by 16-21% (2,3). This product meets the World Health Organization’s recommendations for healthy hands.

CDC RECOMMENDED

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), washing hands with soap and water is the best way for people to get rid of germs and protect themselves from getting sick. (1). While hand-sanitizers provide several benefits for killing germs and keeping your hands clean, when soap is not available, hand –washing with soap reduces the amounts of all types of germs by removing the oily lipid membranes that types of bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19, protect themselves with.

WASHING THE RIGHT WAY

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water, turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails with the soap.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. (4)
4. Rinse your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
