Is hand sanitizing soap organic

Answer 1

Is hand sanitizing soap organic? Why would you care? You don't need it. Your hands are constantly in touch with your environment and despite the best efforts of those marketing and making huge profits from 'germ-killing' preparations your body is, in normal circumstances, pretty well self-cleansing. Unless you obsessively wash your hands each time you touch any surface or any other person or pet, you're wasting your time and money searching for the 'right' product to keep you clean. You are clean; you were born that way and water is more or less all that's needed to maintain that cleanliness. A wash with liquid soap - the cheapest will do - and a good rinse followed by a thorough towel-dry, or air-dry if you live in a warm climate, is all you need to be clean. Liquid sorbolene, unscented, is great for showering, shaving and handwashing; I can buy a one-litre pump pack for under $10 at my local supermarket. As well, there's little difference between a $2 bottle of shampoo and a $20 product, apart from the price. And you don't need to spray or splash disinfectant (the old name for sanitizing preparations) all around your home, or wash in it, or have cupboards full of chemicals to protect you from germs, in order to stay healthy. More children are bady injured or die from eating and drinking 'sanitizing' and other cleaning products each year than die from attacks of 'germs'. The packaging of these products is as attractive to children as to the parents the marketing is aimed at, but in a deadly way: a kid-magnet. Just look at the labels, with their clean, refreshing, fresh-fruit look! Use your commonsense, and take time to learn a little about hygiene. I've acquaintances, both doctors, who inundate their home and their bodies with 'sanitizing' products, but whose kitchen hygiene is so abysmal I make excuses not to eat at their place. And notice how many people keep their homes 'clean' but haven't grasped the concept of why toilets have lids. So every time they flush without closing the lid they're spraying the bathroom with, er, I'm not sure how to say it politely. Stop and think about what you buy and why you buy it. If you ask the average shopper how firmly their purchasing is influenced by advertising they'll indignantly tell you it isn't. But why, then, are they, en masse, buying name-brand products which actually do nothing to improve or enhance their lives? Because of marketing. 'Organic' is a buzzword, a selling-point for many products, just as is 'natural' and all the other marketing terms designed to make you believe that paying more for something will magically make you more healthy or beautiful. Deadly nightshade is organic, and natural, but you wouldn't add it to your salad. Keep it simple. And don't believe the suggestions that you and your children are living in filthy conditions which can only be made safe by spending lots of money on products which are unnecessary.
