CLEAN Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Cream

CLEAN Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Cream

Cool new product time! CLEAN, one of my favorite fragrance brands, has released an ingenious new hand cream. The Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Cream ($10.00 USD, 1 fl. oz) contains SafetyDerm® germ-fighting technology, and offers continuous four-hour anti-bacterial protection.  

The claim is, “This advanced hand cream kills 99.9% of germs on contact and keeps killing bacteria for up to four hours, no matter what you touch next! Patented SafetyDerm™ technology harnesses Benzethonium Chloride, suspended in air-light layers of moisturizers, to veil your hands like invisible germ-killing gloves. Clinically proven moisturizers vitamin E, avocado, jojoba, and grape-seed oils help make the skin soft while Cotton Vantage™ technology uses cotton seeds and extracts that help soothe, smoothe and moisturize skin.”  

 What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Sulfates
– Synthetic Fragrances
– Synthetic Dyes
– Triclosan  

It also does not contain propylene glycol, mineral oil, animal ingredients, or alcohol. It is not animal tested and is fragrance-free.  

What I think: While I can tell if it is killing germs, I love the idea of an unseen 4 hour protection. I am traveling out of the country at the end of summer, and this will be perfect to take with me. I like that it is unscented, and it is not greasy but very moisturizing. I also think it is a good value for what it claims to do. I definitely recommend this, especially for working outdoors, camping or travel.

Moisturize Your Winter Skin With H2O Plus

Being that it is so dry in Missouri in the Winter, I am always looking for good moisturizer to quench my parched skin.
H2O Plus has a wide range of spa-quality products that have natural ingredients and are great for your skin.  One of my favorites is the Spa Hand and Nail Cream (6oz $15.00 USD). The H2O Plus website, www.h2oplus.com,  states these benefits of the cream, “Specially formulated for hands and cuticles. Vitamins, marine extracts, aloe vera and panthenol help restore moisture leaving hands soft, smooth and conditioned”. 
This product more than delivers. It instantly smooths my hand and cuticles and has the most addictive scent. The ingredients include sea fennel, wakame, sea lettuce, spirulina, nori, aloe vera gel, apricot kernel oil, seaweed extract,  allantoin, provitamin B and vitamin E.  I don’t know what half of those ingredients are, but together they smell fantastic!
Another great H2O Plus moisturizer is the Hydrating Body Butter ($19.50 USD).  This thick and creamy moisturizer is very effective on flaky, dry winter skin.  H2O Plus touts, “Natural coconut and vegetable oils penetrate deeply while green tea and Paraguay Tea combine with vitamin C and E for nourishing protection. Leaves skin conditioned and restored.”
The scent in the body butter is good, but not the same as the Hand and Nail cream. It has a very soft, creamy scent.
I have been using both products for a couple of weeks and my skin is much  smoother and softer.  H2O Plus is definately a line worth checking out!
