With the global fear from SARS & H1N1, health organizations like WHO1 & ECDC2 have provided public advice on how to reduce risks of contamination & stressed the basic necessity of keeping our hands clean. As a result of this, AZIAL has created a range of 100% natural sanitizing products so you are protected everyday: Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer (rinse-free & perfect to use anywhere, anytime); Hand Sanitizing Liquid Soap (perfect for any washroom or kitchen); & Aromatic Sanitizing Spray (perfect for homes, offices, schools, shops).
AZIAL Sanitizing Care products contains ethanol3, a plant-based alcohol at concentrations over 60%4, & our special AZIAL sanitizing blend made from 13 essential oils that are known for their potent antibacterial properties: Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Japanese Peppermint, Geranium, Orange, Holy Basil, Peru Balsam, Cinnamon, Cedarwood, Camphor, Cypress, Tea Tree & Rosemary.
The efficacy of essential oils, used for their antibacterial & antiviral properties since the middle ages is now proven by numerous scientific studies5-9. The combination of ethanol & our AZIAL sanitizing essential oil blend provide even stronger activity against bacteria, fungi & yeast.
Tests conducted by Pasteur Institute on each product confirms that they eliminate over 99.99% of all germs according to the European standards EN 1500 (30 seconds), EN 1040 (5 minutes) & EN 1275 (5 minutes).
