CV Hand Spray- Lavender Rosemary
About: When on the go, maintain good hand hygiene with this lavender rosemary hand freshener spray containing 75% Organic Cane Alcohol. CV's Lavender Rosemary Organic Hand Spray uses a simple formula of organic ingredients; 75% ethyl alcohol, witch hazel, glycerin, and essential oils—that's it!
Organic Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is the same stuff that is in beer, wine, and spirits. CV uses Organic alcohol made from Certified Organic and Certified Fair Trade Sugar Cane. According to the CDC, high proof Ethyl alcohol, at concentrations of 60%–80%, is a potent virucidal (virus killing) agent for many viruses. Organic Witch Hazel is used for its skin-soothing properties. Organic Vegetable Glycerin is included for its moisturizing emollient properties as well as to thicken the solution slightly. The organic glycerin that CV normally purchases is derived from organic flaxseed. Depending on availability, they may also use glycerin from organic sunflower or palm oils. It is not derived from coconut oil.
This recipe also includes organic essential oils, many of which have been used for their antibacterial as well as skin-soothing properties for hundreds of years.
- Lavender: Besides its skin-soothing properties and relaxing aromatherapeutic properties, studies have shown that it has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
- Rosemary: Besides its invigorating fragrance that helps reduce stress, rosemary also has antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Use
For Best Results:
- Shake well
- Apply 2 to 3 pumps on the palm of your hand (you want a little puddle in your palm)
- Rubs hands together covering all surfaces including fingers, in between fingers, fingertips, nails and the back of your hands
- Rub hands for about 20 seconds and allow them to DRY. DO NOT RINSE!
Note:
- Hand sanitizer is ineffective if too little is applied or it is wiped off before it has dried completely
- Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
Other Uses: An added benefit of a portable alcohol-based spray is that it can be sprayed on surfaces like door handles, faucets, or shopping carts or used in other public areas like taxis, buses, bathrooms, classrooms, etc. Just pump out a bit and then wipe the surface with a paper towel or tissue or spray directly on a paper towel and wipe!
If you are concerned about sensitivity do a patch test before using.
**Alcohol-based hand cleansers and sanitizers must always be stored out of the reach of young children, and used only under adult supervision.
Wondering why CV Hand Spray with 75% alcohol is not called a Hand Sanitizer? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates hand sanitizers as over-the-counter drugs (OTC) because they are intended for topical anti-microbial use to prevent disease in humans. Since this product has not been evaluated by the FDA CV is not allowed to call it a Hand "Sanitizer."
