During the pandemic everyone was rushing around to find Lysol wipes and spray, toilet tissue, Isopropyl alcohol, gloves and many more items. When you went to the store, you would see "Rain Check" signs everywhere along with signs explaining that what is on the shelves is all the store has at that time. You might have even tried to think outside of the box and tried ordering these items off of Amazon, Ace Hardware and Menards. Possibly even looking on the store websites for Walmart, Costco, Ebay or Etsy. Everything for the most part was sold out and/or out of stock.
Here at JRCC, we watched this from the sidelines and decided to try and help our customers as much as possible! Research was done and found that in order for proper and efficient cleansing of your hands, the use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) or hand washing, is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens and infections. The CDC recommends a formula of ethanol at 80% or isopropanol at 75% for a hand rub or hand sanitizer to inactivate SARS-CoV-2. Though, hand washing is the best way to mechanically remove all pathogens from your hands.
NOTE: Hands should be washed with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when visibly soiled, before eating, and after using the restroom.
Our hand sanitizers are made with the same organic, vegan, gluten-free and skin-safe standards - We use an Organic Alcohol at 75%, an Organic and Wildcrafted Witch Hazel, pure Aloe Vera from the aloe leaf, NOT an aloe gel and essential oils.
ALOE VERA: Aloe is a natural antibacterial moisturizer that hydrates the skin, contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamin A and C and is highly anti-inflammatory
WITCH HAZEL: Organic and Wildcrafted, it has 14% of alcohol itself and is an astringent. It decreases skin irritation, relieves inflammation and has antiviral properties.
ESSENTIAL OILS: We have a 3 essential oil blend we use for our hand sanitizers. Lavender, lemon and blood orange - their benefits:
Lavender is used for aromatherapy, it promotes relaxation, helps to treat anxiety, eczema and increases energy while decrease anxiety.
Lemon helps to heal wounds, treat acne and increase energy as well.
Blood Orange is antimicrobial as well as an antioxidant, it increases mood and energy while decreasing redness and inflammation.
We know you'll love our hand sanitizer and hope to be able to provide them to everyone in need.
