The Coronavirus pandemic has unleashed a deluge of hand sanitizers on the market over the past year - and everyone from liquor distillers to oil companies have jumped on the production bandwagon.
One thing many of these sanitizers have in common is they all contain germ-killing agents like alcohol or triclosan. While these agents are effective, they can cause everything from severe dryness and irritation to serious and potentially recurring skin problems. And with 60% of anything applied to your skin absorbed, you are for all intents and purposes. ingesting toxins.
Organic sanitizers and probiotic sprays are gentle, but effective, alternatives to harsh, chemical-laden products. Many of the essential oils used in these natural purifiers are antiviral, less damaging to the skin, and meet Defying Age’s mission to promote awareness and access to Canadian-made, environmentally friendly, effective, and ethical products.
Protect Your Hands Naturally
Sanitizing hands many times a day with harsh, chemically potent products can cause excessive dryness and other serious skin ailments.
Constant sanitizing can also make things worse by trapping bacteria and viruses in the tiny cracks of your chapped and dry hands. So the very action you take to keep well may, in fact, make you more susceptible to harboring unwanted microorganisms.
When alcohol-based sanitizers are used, natural, healthy flora that lives on your skin is being stripped away. Many sanitizers currently on the market contain alcohol and other ingredients that are drying and damaging to your skin, but there are alternatives that keep your hands clean and purified.
When using sanitizers that leave your skin dry and vulnerable is a requirement, probiotic sprays help put the good bacteria back. These sprays contain a powerful blend of oils and probiotics to keep your, and your family’s, skin healthy between hand washes.
Defying Age exists to help educate about, and provide access to, products that honor Mother Nature and her ability to heal and protect. Natural agents such as witch hazel and ethanol or corn-based alcohols have powerful, protective properties without toxicity.

Whether washing your hands or using sanitizer, however, it’s very important to wash and dry your hands or apply products correctly and thoroughly.
