No, Frais Hand Sanitizer is an instant Hand Sanitizer designed to kill germs on the hands when you don't have access to soap and water. Frais Hand Sanitizer can also be used after handwashing to kill germs that may remain.
Frais Hand Sanitizer evaporates leaving a subtle trace of our special Les Huit essential oil blend, which conditions, moisturizes, and softens the hands.
Frais Hand Sanitizer has a natural aroma from Les Huit, an elegant blend of eight essential oils: ginger, tangerine, lemon myrtle, niaouli, orange, basil, grapefruit and cardamom. The scent of these essential oils matures naturally over time.
Our essential oils are blended by experts in Australia, our containers and pumps are made in the United States and China, and we mix and package the final product in China. All our partners are internationally accredited in their field of expertise.
We do not use and will never use any sort of animal-derived or animal-tested ingredients. Frais products are approved by PETA as cruelty-free and vegan.
Frais contains no animal-derived or animal-tested ingredients or artificial perfumes. Islamic scholars such as Dr. Rajab Abu Mleeh state that the alcohol in hand sanitizer used as medicine is permissible in Islam. He claims that protection against disease is among the aims that Muslims are commanded to pursue, so it is permissible to touch alcohol even if it is indisputably impure according to Islamic law. The Muslim Council of Britain concurs. Studies show that when used as directed, the alcohol in hand sanitizer evaporates and is not absorbed signifcantly through the skin so it cannot cause intoxication.
We do not use artificial colors, dyes or fragrances in any of our products. We use pure essential oils to provide our products with their natural aromatherapeutic fragrance. Any colors that occur in our products are due to the plant-based ingredients.
Our products were tested on human volunteers at an independent laboratory within the United States, with no negative reactions. Frais Hand Sanitizer is Dermatologist Approved as non-sensitizing and non-irritating. Frais Towelettes are Dermatologist and Opthamologist approved for sensitive skin, even around the eyes.
Apply a dollop, a thumbnail sized amount, to dry hands that are not visibly dirty. Rub hands together thoroughly until the sanitizer evaporates (about 15 seconds). Water, rinsing or drying are not required.
We recommend using Frais Hand Sanitizer anytime soap and water are not readily available for handwashing and when hands are not visibly soiled. For instance, after using public facilities; such as bathrooms or telephones, riding buses/trains, airplanes, cruise ships, before and after eating, preparing food, travelling in the car, and after changing diapers.
Our products last at least three years when stored properly, but this can be reduced with improper storage, near heat or cold.
Frais Hand Sanitizer is flammable, but a flame, spark or other ignition source would be needed. Frais Hand Sanitizer is safe when used and handled as directed.
Frais Hand Sanitizer is safe for children when used according to the instructions on the bottle, so children should only use under adult supervision. The Mayo Clinic reports that hand sanitizers are perfectly safe for children. The Centers for Disease Control recommends parents pack hand sanitizer for their children when traveling, to avoid their contracting disease from dirty hands. There are great benefits for children accustomed to using hand sanitizer properly. 80% of illnesses - like MRSA staph - that kids and adults catch are passed by hands infected with germs, and alcohol hand sanitizers are extremely effective at eliminating this threat.

Our fans suggest using Frais Hand Sanitizer for an easy solution to an old problem, water marks on the dining table. Dampen a clean cloth with Frais Hand Sanitizer. Be sure to test on a small area of the wood surface first to make sure it won't hurt the finish. Skim the surface of the water mark with the dampened cloth. The alcohol in Frais Hand Sanitizer gradually absorbs water embedded in the wood and then evaporates, and the essential oils protect the wood. Use a small amount of hand sanitizer at first, and gradually add more until the water mark is removed. Finish with furniture polish.
The New South Wales, Australia Public Health Department recommends sanitizer for proper hygiene before a manicure or pedicure. "The skin area to be treated should be cleaned with a skin antiseptic. Nail files, emery boards, and buffers must be cleaned (before use). All equipment/instruments must be cleaned after a procedure." Frais Hand Sanitizer can be used to clean skin and instruments because it kills most hazardous germs on contact. Frais also leaves skin and nails fresh and moisturized. At their launch event, the chic Four Seasons Palo Alto spa used Frais Hand Sanitizer for sanitizing feet before massage. Guests loved it!

Frais Hand Sanitizer kills 99.9% of most common germs that may cause illness. It is especially useful when clean water and soap are not readily available.
Studies have shown that good hand hygiene is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 80% of all infectious illnesses are spread by the hands. Frais Hand Sanitizer is a convenient, effective way to kill germs that may cause disease and that are transmitted by hands.
As an over-the-counter drug in the United States, the FDA requires that Frais makes no specific claims for which bacteria, spores, viruses, and fungi Frais Hand Sanitizer kills. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Mayo Clinic have made specific strong claims about 60-70% ethyl alcohol solutions used as disinfectants for staph, many bacteria, and various viruses including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella choleraesuis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Herpes Simplex Type 1, Influenza A2. On 25 April, 2009, the San Jose Mercury News reported in Dirty Hands Spread Dangerous Diseases like Swine Flu that "The Centers for Disease Control says the most important way to prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases, including swine flu, is to frequently wash your hands with soap or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol." .
Frais Hand Sanitizer has no residual germ-killing effect. Frais Hand Sanitizer kills germs on contact, but once it has evaporated, the germ-killing action has stopped. We recommend using regularly when coming into contact with germs or in public spaces.
The Clinical Infectious Diseases Journal reports "Washing the hands with regular soap and water temporarily eliminates some of the body’s good germs while it gets rid of the bad germs. The same is true when using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. However, in both cases, the body quickly replenishes the good germs on the hands – often moving them in from just up the arms (where there are fewer harmful germs). So there is no harm in using regular soap or alcohol-based products. In fact, regular hand cleaning improves the proportion of “good germs” on the hands. There is no risk of antibacterial resistance when using regular soap or alcohol-based products. The alcohol in sanitizers evaporates quickly and completely, leaving no residue behind to which organisms could adapt. Some scientists are concerned the ingredients in antibacterial soap, though, may cause resistance." (Aiello et al: Consumer antibacterial soaps: effective or just risky? Clin Infect Dis, 2007). (courtesy of drgreene.com)
The Mayo Clinic (2007) recommends consumers use only alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and never “waterless” products which use benzalkonium chloride or triclosan, which may lead to “super germs”. The United States CDC (2001) reports that the recent increase of surface antibacterial agents or biocides into healthy households may contribute to the resistance problem (to germs), and specifically mentions benzalkonium chloride and triclosan as chemicals that may promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria and viruses, such as recent virulent MRSA strains. The CDC also reports that concern is irrelevant with (germ-killing) substances that do not leave residues (e.g., alcohols, bleaches, and peroxides)
Chris Peot, Biosolids Manager at the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington, DC, would like to ban triclosan because of the effect on the environment. "Triclosan shows up at a few parts per million in biosolids, and if we are alarmed by this we should be outraged by the levels in the products we buy. I've seen hand sanitizers at 5% triclosan by weight, which is 50,000,000 ppm. This is the product that we are required to send to school in the fall with our kids (I have 4 and 6 yr old boys) and that they lather their hands and faces with presumably to avoid catching colds and spreading germs. If we are alarmed by a few ppm in the biosolids, we should be livid about the products that are sold in our society, and we should concentrate our efforts in getting them off the shelves."
Thyme oil has shown mixed results in killing a few types of germs in a laboratory setting, but it has never been tested on human skin in a published study. It also does nothing to harm many sort of germs. These thyme products are Not sanctioned by the US FDA, Health Canada, the Australian TGA, or European Biocidial authorities, as alcohol-based sanitizers clearly are and have been for decades. For a thorough consumer evaulation of the two, please see Preemie Premiere.
According to the CDC, the hands are one of the most frequent transmission routes for many types of infections as they come into direct contact with known portals of entry for pathogens (mouth, nose, conjunctiva of the eyes). Therefore, practicing proper hand hygiene is the easiest way to help reduce infections. Another way that some infections can spread is through the air, which is why it is important to cover your mouth with a tissue when you sneeze.
Use soap and water, especially when hands are visibly dirty. Wash hands with soap and warm water for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Apply enough product to thoroughly wet hands, then rub hands together briskly until dry.
Frais uses only natural essential oils along with mild man-made food-grade ingredients like alcohol and cellulose. Our product has been thoroughly tested on humans with no reaction, but a person could find themselves mildly allergic to one of our ingredients. We recommend doing a patch test before using any new cosmetic product.
This term refers to ingredients - such as mineral oil, petrolatum and paraffin - that may clog pores. We do not use any of these ingredients in our products.
We do not use gluten in Frais Hand Sanitizer.
Alcohol is a natural disinfectant. According to the American Journal of Infection Control, August 1995, "Alcohols applied to the skin are among the safest known antiseptics."
Some alcohol grades such as isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) can be drying to the skin. Frais’ high grade sugarcane alcohol evaporates quickly and does not remove the skin's moisture and natural oils. Frais Hand Sanitizer contains a unique blend of essential oils that helps moisturize hands to leave them feeling soft and smooth. The British Journal of Dermatology and many others report that using hand sanitizer regularly actually is less drying to the hands than using soap and water; many people simply do not wash their hands sufficiently or properly using soap and water.
Since alcohol evaporates quickly, the likelihood of organisms developing resistance to ethyl alcohol is low and less likely than chemicals with long persistence.
