I’m a mom and a neonatal intensive care nurse which means I can be pretty paranoid about germs. Our entire household has finally gotten over weeks of being sick (we just kept giving it to each other over and over again) but cold and flu season is not over yet. I carry hand sanitizer and wipes with me everywhere (they’re in my purse, the diaper bag, the car) in order to keep the bugs away but I mostly use them on myself. I prefer to wash my son’s hands rather than using alcohol-based hand sanitizers because he is still young and I don’t want him to accidently ingest the alcohol in the sanitizer. Unfortunately washing his hands as regularly as I would like is not a feasible option.
We recently tried Remi-D All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Mist, an all-natural, alcohol-free alternative to hand sanitizers. Here is a little more information about Remi-D from the site:
Remi-D All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Mist is a portable spray that kills 99.99% of germs. Remi-D moisturizes as it sanitizes with a refreshing mist.
I love the fact that it doesn’t contain alcohol but is still effective against potentially harmful bacteria like MRSA and Staph. The active ingredient is Benzalkonium Chloride which we use in the hospital as an antimicrobial. It is free of parabens and triclosan but I still wouldn’t recommend having your child ingest it! Remi-D contains moisturizers like lanolin to protect your skin from becoming dry and irritated. It’s small enough to tuck anywhere, even in my pocket and it is available in three pleasant scents (we tried Cucumber Tea Tree).
We tried using this instead of antibacterial wipes or hand gel and I noticed a difference in how my skin felt. It was much smoother after repeated use. My hands didn’t feel dry and I didn’t feel like I had to wash off any sticky residue. The initial scent is mild but noticeable and wears off almost immediately, leaving behind a subtle cucumber scent. And…we haven’t gotten sick yet! The flip top assures me that it won’t spill in my purse (which has happened on numerous occasions).
Remi-D is available for purchase at a wide variety of food and drug stores for approximately $3.00.
Profuse thanks to Remi-D and Mom Fuse for this review opportunity.
