Keep Kids Alcohol Free And Safe With Non-Toxic Hand Sanitizer Alternative

BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to provide a timely solution to the potentially hazardous consequences of alcohol in traditional hand sanitizers, and in response to back-to-school for kids, safeHands® has moved up the launch date of its exclusive kid-friendly line, safeSquirts®, an alcohol free, non-toxic, non-flammable, triclosan-free, skin-nourishing alternative. Now the whole family can benefit from an alcohol free, hydrating hand sanitizer that kills more than 99.99 percent of germs. Budget-conscious families can also benefit from the new experience of "safe" since the foaming bottles provide almost twice the applications of traditional alcohol gels.

With the April launch of the safeHands® Classic line and now, a tyke-approved, colorful, fun-scented, foam-filled sanitizing solution, safeHands®, a socially conscious company, is serious about its Alcohol Free Mission to combat germs and bacteria that are harmful to kids (and adults). Like its predecessor, safeSquirts® touts a pediatrician-approved and trustworthy active ingredient, Benzalkonium Chloride, that has been used safely for decades in eye drops, nose sprays, and original first-aid products, and lends itself to some of the most superior and trustworthy products in the marketplace.

With the recent incidents in the media exposing alcohol in hand sanitizer as the root cause of poisoning from ingestion, flammability hazards, and intentional and accidental misuse of an alcohol-based product, safeHands® has advanced its production schedule to launch safeSquirts® before the end of the year.

"It is important to all of us to make the safeSquirts® launch a priority in our manufacturing timeline," stated Dr. Jay Reubens, founder of safeHands®. "Our mission is to protect the lives of children and families by educating them on the potential issues associated with traditional alcohol-based hand sanitizers, as well as provide an alternative that is safe, nourishing, non-toxic and non-flammable - and can be used by kids as frequently as they would like."

The launch of safeSquirts® is just in time for back-to-school and the upcoming holiday season, and is available in 1.75 oz. and 7 oz. bottles in pink, green and blue with plenty of scents to keep kids happy. safeSquirts® arrival to the marketplace ensures that parents can feel "safeHands® secure" knowing their children will no longer be exposed to the potential toxic consequences of a hand sanitizer. Instead of old-school hand sanitizing, the whole family can join the safeHands® Mission to "Safe the Planet"™ and "Spread Truth. Not Germs."™
