Living and working around others means we also share germs. Luckily, our immune systems are equipped to deal with viruses and bacteria. Beware of overusing antibacterial and antimicrobial soaps! What happens is that the germs start getting smart and eventually become resistant to the chemicals we use.
This craze with alcohol-based gel sanitizers is actually causing more harm than good as alcohol is a very serious skin irritant.
Keep it simple.

I love Shaklee's Get Clean Hand Wash Concentrate because it's a soap-free cleanser that's pH balanced and hypoallergenic. It's biodegradable, contains no phosphates, dyes or triclosan, and comes in a recyclable packaging. And to keep your hands moist when your hands need that little TLC, you'll be thankful that it also contains wheat germ oil and soy protein. Safe and effective.
