“I love the Frais towelettes! They're so soft and refreshing and they smell like a spa! I keep them in my purse, my car and I travel with them for an on the go spa feeling!” - Nancy O'Dell of NBC's Today Show and Dateline NBC
Frais was featured in the Fall 2009 Beautyfix Kit. Members of Beautyfix are privy to a sampling of the latest hand-picked, high-performance products, as well as the inside scoop on anything and everything beauty-related from industry experts and beauty aficionados alike. Frais was pleased to be part of this year's kit and received glowing reviews from members.
"Thank you, Frais! I'm a complete germ-a-phobe and this fits perfectly in my purse and smells great! The bottle is really cute too."
"I absolutely loved this product. Loved the ingredients down to the texture and how moisturizing it was for my hands instead of drying them out like most sanitizers do. It's the perfect size to bring with you everywhere as well.
"I loved the smell and the convenient small packaging. Everyone asked me about it!"
"GREAT Product!!! Have considered purchasing it for the Elementary school teachers! I like that it does not burn my hand like the other sanitizers do, and that it also smells kind of "girly" instread of like a strong I just got sanitized. "
"Best sanitizer I have come across. Love everything about it!! In a time when having one handy is a must, this stands out for the great smell and light moisturizing texture. A keeper! "
"I love it! Love the fragrance and how it absorbs quickly and doesn't dry my hands. I used it on my recent flight and being that it's a germy environment, it made me feel better. Plus the air is stale and stuffy so the fragrance was great. "
"This smells awesome! Like a day at the spa! Doesn't dry out hands...will definitely purchase! "
"Good stuff. Goes on nice and quickly. No stickiness. It has a nice smell to it. It also softens your hands. "
"Would buy this in a heartbeat! Love the scent and it's eco-formula. "
"I love this sanitizer and since my friends are all germaphobes, it will make a nice stocking stuffer. Will definitely buy more of this unique earth friendly product. "
"I love the portability of this and would love to buy some. It smells citrusy and spicey--way better than other hand sanitizers. How great is it that our hand sanitizer can be chic too? "
"I really appreciate having the smaller size for travel. It is quite a pleasant fragrance and I love the benefits of the essential oils in this product. Very nice! "
"This product is perfect for my purse and its scent is exotic. A no-brainer choice over the heavy alcohol scented alternatives. When colder weather comes around, my hands won't be dry and cracked from using other sanitizers. "
"This hand sanitizer is great - love the pocket size. I keep it with me and use it whenever I need it. For example, after pumping gas yesterday - that was definitely a germy situation. I like knowing that it's made with natural ingredients, unlike the standard chemical fare. "
"Genius product: I have always been a stickler for cleanliness, but the hand sanitisers that I have tried have always dried the skin on my palms to the point where I preferred the germs. This one smells really fresh and citrus-y, but not in a loo cleaner way, it is subtle. Frais doesn't leave behind any residue at all and definitely doesn't dry my hands which makes me think this would be a good one for kids as well. "
"On a recent trip to LA this amazing stuff was recommended to me by a girlfriend. I'd never really paid attention to hand sanitizers until she gave me some to try after a day out on the raz! I was very sceptical but as soon as she tipped it into my hands I was hooked on the zesty fragrance and it left my hands feeling surprisingly clean and moisturised. Now I carry one of these little gems with me everywhere, especially when I'm travelling on the smelly old underground here - it's really uplifting to use and nice to know I'm killing those ratbag germs at the same time. Who needs soap and water girls? Sign in to rate this review. "
"I use hand sanitizers several times every day in my work and found Frais to be perfect for the job. It doesnt dry out your skin,it smells lovely and comes in a very useful size which fits in your pocket. I'm also happy with the fact that it contains all natural ingredients and feels very much more gentle on the skin. Sign in to rate this review. "
"Great product! I think it's one of the next best things that we will have in the next few years. I can see many people using hand sanitizers but not as posh as this one. It's good for killing germs, good on your hands and it smells very nice."
"
I have received the Frais package and have begun using it -- it is terrific smelling!! It rubs in so well and doesn't leave any kind of residue on the hands. I'm so excited to give out the small samples to my friends so they can try it, too."
"I'm a smoker and hate my hands smelling like smoke. I have tried Frais and it takes the smell of smoke off my hands which really makes me happy and I'm sure everyone around me. Frais is different than the other hand-sanitizers in its great smell and how fast it absorbs."
"It felt instantly refreshing on my hands. The scent did not have a 'clinical' odour, or an overpowering, lingering perfume. Frais should be picked up with keys, purse, mobile etc. In this day and age, Frais should be kept at all times in the car, briefcase, handbag/s".
"I like the natural clean scent which is unlike other hand sanitizers that smell like alcohol. It goes on smooth and silky, and it is easily transported."
"I have dry skin and eczema, but unlike other hand sanitizers, Frais doesn't sting when I use it. What a great luxury - I feel like I'm taking good care of myself and my skin. Would be a treat to find this during my travels.“
"Being a male I found Frais to be refreshingly clean and pleasing on the nose without it being over powering or to sweet! Hope this product does well as it's fabulous!!"
“It's not as sticky as drug store brands. And I like the fragrance as it smells and feels clean."
"I prefer Frais Hand Sanitizer because it has a more pleasing scent and does not dry my hands as much as drug store brands. I would be willing to pay more for Frais than competing brands because I prefer the premium/natural ingredients in your product. In addition, I feel it is important to support organizations that are committed to local and green business practices and will not work with partners or suppliers that condone animal testing."
“I always get really grossed out on planes and at airports because there are SO many germs. I’m constantly using little bottles of hand sanitizer. By the time I reach my destination my hands are very dried out from the alcohol, and my skin is extremely dry around my nails. The money I spent before my trip on a manicure is wasted because my nail polish begins to look terrible from the alcohol in the sanitizer and wipes.
I would totally buy FRAIS. It not only cleaned my hands but also kept my skin nourished and without the usual alcohol smell. This is one time I would not worry about what something cost since it’s for my skin.”

"Let's talk about hand sanitizer. Not exactly a beauty product, right? And even if you're lenient enough to squeeze it into that category, you'd be hard-pressed to admit it's luxurious.
So when Frais Hand Sanitizer was brought to our attention, we were (almost) speechless—this might be the first hand sanitizer we'd consider an elegant skincare product... We think "hand sanitizer" may be too pedestrian for Frais. Perhaps "purifying and moisturizing hand treatment" would be a better fit."

"New Mom Beauty Product Lifesavers
Recently my life changed when I joined a new club called “mommyhood”. Time management has taken on a whole new meaning and as cliché as it sounds: there are simply NOT enough hours in the day. Feeding, changing, entertaining, and holding your little bundle of joy leaves you without much time for a beauty regimen. To be honest, some days it feels like there is barely enough time to shower! Here are a few beauty product lifesavers that I’ve come to rely on day in and day out... 4. Frais Hand Sanitizer – l am not exaggerating when I say there is a bottle in every room of my house. I love that Frais doesn’t irritate my hands the way most other anti-bacterial hand sanitizers have in the past. The essential oils act as a moisturizer and are a key component in keeping my hands soft and germ free."

"Luxe Hand Sanitizer Frais to Launch on HSN
From the land down under comes a luxurious way to ward off germs, both at home and on the go. Frais is an all-natural, eco-friendly hand sanitizer that's way more fitting for a fashionista to pull out of her new Ferragamo bag than Purell, and it's launching on HSN on February 25. What's the difference between Frais and all the other hand sanitizers on the shelves? Pretty much everything, from the packaging (it's recyclable) to the ingredients (sugarcane alcohol and eight Australian essential oils including grapefruit, cardamom, basil and niaouli) to the scent (it's a far cry from the industrial cleaning product aroma you're used to). Frais actually makes your hands feel soft and conditioned, as opposed to dry and tight. The brand is 100-percent vegan, not tested on animals and their Sydney headquarters uses wind and solar power to reduce their impact on the environment. And, just in case you need one more reason to try it, Frais donates a portion of its proceeds to Just A Drop, a foundation that brings safe drinking water to communities around the world."

"Fight swine flu while smelling your best
The fight against flu is going upmarket. An Australian company is touting a high-end hand sanitizer that aims to elevate disinfection from annoyance to extravagance. Frais – pronounced "fray," as in the French word for fresh – gets its germ-killing properties from sugar-cane alcohol, which is said to be gentler on the skin than varieties contained in drugstore brands. It is also peppered with a proprietary blend of eight essential oils that moisturize the skin while producing an aroma more reminiscent of an eau de cologne than a medical clinic. ... "It's like a bottle of wine ... (The scent) matures over time," said Davis-Smith. Public health officials point out that any hand sanitizer with an alcohol content of 60 per cent or more – Frais is 66 per cent alcohol – can be effective in killing the germs that cause many respiratory illnesses, including H1N1 flu. "If the product has at least 60 per cent alcohol and if it's effective – we're certainly in favour of anything that encourages people to wash or sanitize their hands," said Dr. Sarah Wilson of Toronto Public Health...Recently they've pitched the merits of travel-sized bottle to major airlines. Main said he's done research that indicates 45 per cent of airline passengers use the lavatory to wash their hands before their inflight meal; he theorizes that if those passengers were handed a vial of Frais as an alternative, the airlines could save on fuel costs by hauling less water.

"Frais is back at Natural Mommie, thankfully just in time for flu season!! Just as a little recap here's some info about this great Australian company. Frais creates eco-friendly, luxurious and aromatherapeutic, all natural , vegan hand sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs without the traditional chemicals found in other hand sanitizers. Frais' high grade sugarcane alcohol and moisturizing essential oils make it possible to stay safe from germs throughout the day without drying the hands from using chemicals and it is completely plant based! We're in the middle of the lovely H1N1 pandemic so I have bottles of hand sanitizer peeking out of every nook and cranny, pocket, glove box and purse. With regular hand sanitizers, I always feel conflicted when I use them on my toddler. I mean, I have to keep his hands germ free, but part of me always wonders if I'm doing more bad than good by using sanitizer. Luckily Frais is free of artificial ingredients, the scent is lovely and not overwhelming in the least, and it truly is moisturizing so I have no worries about using it with my son. The beautiful packaging {pretty packaging for hand sanitizer? that's a first!} is recyclable and looks more like a fancy bottle of lotion than anything else. It's no wonder Frais is getting all sorts press about being a "sexy sanitizer"! For review, I picked out what I find most practical to have this holiday season: the Frais Holiday Gift Set . As a gift, it's perfect for travelers and anyone frequently on the go. The size was designed to slip into a standard ziplock bag to pass through airport security which is why I'm pleased to have this with me for when I fly in 3 weeks. The set includes fourteen 6ml units that I would estimate you get about 15 or more uses out of each. My husband keeps them in his jacket and loves them. The elegant and uplifting scent is made up of eight natural essential oils that includes Ginger, Tangerine, Lemon Myrtle, Niaouli, Orange, Basil, Grapefruit and Cardamon. Natural Mommies, if you haven't tried it yet, definitely put this naturally moisturizing, eco-friendly hand sanitizer on your list of must haves! There's a reason why celebs like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Ripa, America Ferrera, and Britney Spears are all fans!! And how's this for an idea to keep friends and family members germ free for the holidays - buy this gift set and attach one to each of their presents under the tree! { the giveway } Frais is giving THREE lucky readers each a Holiday Gift Set of Frais pocket sized sanitizers!"

With this crazy flu season approaching, and my little eco-toddler starting pre-school for the very first time there are a few things I carry with me at all times. Besides a lipstick, my cell phone and a Larabar for my son (peanut butter please) if you look in ANY purse or bag I carry at any time, you will ALWAYS find at least one small container of hand sanitizer. I was very excited to find a company that combined the luxury of quality that I love with a hand sanitizer that doesn't make mt eyes water or my hands stinky. What I LOVE About Frais Han Sanitizer: The Smell is amazing.

"Hand sanitizers work by creating a smug layer of, "I'm so clean, look at me" to a user's hands - seriously they function by stripping away the outer layer of oil on the skin. Sales of these products have soared by up to 80% in the past two years according to the Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association. Most hand sanitizer is 62 percent alcohol – more than most vodka, which averages about 40 percent alcohol. The high concentration, say the manufacturers, is needed to kill germs. Some brands contain more than 60 per cent alcohol - the website YouTube is literally awash (ahem) with videos of students drinking the hand gel or lighting it on fire for kicks. Products such as Frais are the natural alternative to chemical based hand sanitizers and contain a gentler sugar-cane alcohol. They have become cult accessories for the eco-conscious."

"For the Gracious Hostess
Try to serve individual portions of hors d'oeuvres in small containers like shot glasses or small take-out style boxes. And make sure there is plenty of serving-ware so guests hopefully won't use their hands in the nut dish.
Place bottles of hand sanitizer in the restrooms or discreetly in the kitchen so guests can quickly cleanse. Recent studies show that hand sanitizer (especially those with alcohol) are more effective than hand washing. We love eco-friendly, fresh-smelling Frais or the good ol' standard hand sanitizer standby. "

"Hand Sanitizer - A Must
With all the viruses going around these days, the scare of the H1N1, colds and germs having a hand sanitizer with you at all times is a must. It is even more of a must if you have kids. Keeping the germs from taking over our lives is huge right now. I recently received my fall Beautyfix Bag and it was filled with a great hand sanitizer from Frais. Frais Pocket Hand Sanitizer is a great little product. It works well and smells wonderful. It does not leave your hands smelling like you just applied hand sanitizer since it has ginger, tangerine, lemon mytrle, niaouli, orange, basil, grapefruit and cardamon in it. The only down fall of the product is how small it is. This pocket hand sanitizer would last less than a day at my house. I would need a larger bottle, like the Frais Everyday. But I do recommend this product not only for its smell but because it is not tested on animals and comes at a great price, $3.50. "

"Carrying hand sanitizer in your purse has probably become second nature. But what does the one you're currently carrying have in it? Does it reek of alcohol and chemicals? I'm sure. That's why you should switch to Frais Hand Sanitizers. Their mandate is "to add luxury to the smart practice of hand sanitizing." Les Huit is a blend of 8 essential oils (ginger, tangerine, lemon, myrtle, niaouli, orange, basil, grapefruit and cardamom) and sugarcane alcohol that kills 99.9% of germs. Not only will your hands smell spicy and enticing, but they won't dry out. It comes in different sizes, so that you can customize it to your bag - there's the Pocket, Everyday, Gift, Spa and Travel. Why not use a hand sanitizer with healthy ingredients that smells great and won't parch your skin in the process?"

"Nothing can ruin your holiday cheer faster than a winter illness. Keep your hands clean, even when you can't get to a sink to wash them with soap and water, with a good hand sanitizer. One I like is the new, eco-friendly Frais Hand Sanitizer $3.50 0.2 fl. oz; $7.00 1.7 fl. oz, $29.00 15 fl. oz. The product is 100% vegan, made of all natural ingredients. The light gel feels refreshing and cooling on your skin, and "Les Huit," the company's mélange of eight natural Australian-blended essential oils, creates a scent is as complex as a fancy perfume: a delightful, spicy, blend of ginger, tangerine, lemon myrtle, niaouli, orange, basil, grapefruit and cardamom. This is a green company, that not only has recyclable packaging, but it's sugarcane alcohol requires five to ten times less energy to produce than the corn alcohol used in other hand sanitizer brands. The company headquarters sources Green power such as wind and solar. Part of every purchase of the product to the Just A Drop Foundation, supporting water, sanitation and health projects around the world. Get the big bottle for yourself and your home. Gift the smaller-sized bottle (fits into any pocket or purse, and it looks so cute!) into everyone's stocking. Better yet, tie a ribbon on a bottle for each of your work colleagues, and let the "Secret Santa" help keep them from spreading germs, too. " |

I carry Frais in my bag at all times now, and pop it on at regular intervals – no water needed.

"Over the years, hand sanitizer has worked its way into the ranks of prestigious household staples, rivaling paper towels and laundry detergent in Mommy-approved value. The trusty product has since evolved into travel-sized, scent-infused, baby-friendly sprays, gels, lotions, soaps, wipes, mists, and even key chains and cell-phone adornments. For you tree huggers out there, there’s even an alcohol-free organic blend (but I don’t trust it!). Here are a few of my favorites:
Frais Spa Hand Sanitizer (lotion), $29.00 for a 15 oz bottle. For you luxury-lovers out there, leave it to the Australians at Frais to be the first to create a rich, spa-quality hand sanitizer, available in gel, travel size, and my personal fave, lotion."

"Luxury Hand Sanitizer: For When You Need to be Chic and Swine Flu-Free
Hand sanitizer is a must-have this spring, because the CDC is reporting the gel might be one of the best first-line defenses against swine flu. Eye on Miami reports that local Walgreens are quickly running out of the product, but we know there's a certain segment of the Miami populace that would never dream of squirting something from a 99-cent plastic drugstore bottle onto their delicate hands. Even if it's a life-or-death situation.
That's why we went on the hunt for luxury hand sanitizer, and we found the leader in the market is made by Frais, an Australian maker of luxury skin goods. The company describes its product thusly: "An elegant mélange of eight natural Australian-blended essential oils conjures uplifting thoughts and leaves hands pleasantly moisturized. The 66 percent high-grade eco-friendly sugarcane alcohol kills 99.9 percent of germs on contact. Frais contains only nontoxic ingredients sourced from plants."

"If all the swine flu news has you reaching for a bottle of Purell, you might want to hear this before your next quick hand cleanse. The Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetic Database give traditional hand sanitizers a high hazarard rating. They’re filled with the usual mix of hormone disruptors, potential carcinogens and the like including parabens, PEGs, phthalates, triclosan and synthetic fragrances. Not to mention the fact that the use of antibacterial chemicals aren’t even necessary to ward off germs–plain old hand soap will do the trick. But if you can’t get to a sink to clean up with soap and water, on-the-go sanitizing options are a good bet. Just be sure to choose eco-friendly hand sanitizers rather than chemical versions. Here our favorite germ fighting eco products:
Frais Pocket Hand Sanitizer: A blend of eight essential oils give this hand sanitizing gel it’s germ fighting power including lemon myrtyle, basil and grapefruit, which boast anti-infectious, antifungal, antibacterial and antiseptic properties."

"I don't know about you, but I really dislike hand sanitizers because of their scent and how drying they are. Even when they're scented to smell like Cucumber Melon, they still reek of alcohol and chemicals. Frais is made with alcohol from sugarcane rather than from cheap, harsh everyday rubbing alcohol like other brands use. Sugarcane alcohol takes far less energy to produce and sugarcane is a renewable resource. To leave your hands smelling great, Frais uses a blend of 8 essential oils including cardamom, grapefruit, niaouli, and basil. The ginger and tangerine scent is completely divine and unique. It's a fresh change from other hand sanitizers!"

"Goodbye Germs!
Fortunately, a lot has changed in the past few years and I've managed to find a sanitizer that I not only like, but that I'll actually pull out of my purse and use. It's an Aussie brand called Frais.
The eco-friendly sanitizer uses sugarcane alcohol, instead of rubbing alcohol, to kill 99.9% of germs. And instead of that nose-tingling medicinal smell, it has an uplfting blend of essential oils of cardamom, grapefruit and basil. Best of all, it's only $3.50 a bottle.
If nothing else, at least it gives my mom a little peace of mind that her daughter is avoiding dirty Manhattan germs."

Not only just since the Swine Flu outbreak, but for a long time now I haven’t taken a single airplane trip without my hand sanitizer. I’m not much of a germ-phobe, but I do try to be careful, especially when spending full days in public places. There are two natural hand sanitizers that I really like. .. My other favorite is by Frais. This powerful product is made of a delicious smelling essential oil blend of ginger, tangerine, lemon myrtle, miaouli, orange, basil, grapefruit and cardamom. Not only does it kill germs but it leaves your hands feeling, no lie, silky smooth. And I particularly love this one because it comes in all sizes - teeny tiny for your pocket, an everyday purse size, and a large pump that I like to keep next to my kitchen sink. "

As the weather heats up, your kids likely will be spending more time outdoors, which means they'll be sticking their hands on swings, water faucets, sandboxes and plenty of other enticing yet germ-filled objects. Being a bit of a germaphobe myself, I'm never caught outside without some form of hand sanitizer, which has become all the more useful now that my daughter Sadie is actively running around and grabbing anything within reach! If you want to be the fancy mommy or daddy on the playground (and who doesn't?), pick up a portable size of Frais Hand Sanitizer. Frais is comprised entirely of natural, non-toxic ingredients, including 66% high grade eco-friendly sugarcane alcohol and eight natural Australian-blended essential oils which combine to kill 99.9% of germs encountered in everyday life, including influenza, the common cold, MRSA staph, swine flu and general ickiness.

"When you need to wash your hands but can’t get to a sink, hand sanitizers are the answer. A new crop of all-natural sanitizers is loaded with skin-soothing essential oils. Our picks contain at least 60 percent alcohol—the amount recommended by the Centers for Disease Control to banish bacteria. Use only when soap and water aren’t available—and only half a teaspoon to avoid irritating your skin, says Rebecca Tung, M.D., a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
FRAIS HAND SANITIZER is made with 66 percent sugarcane alcohol, which requires less energy to produce than the corn alcohol used in most sanitizers, and a blend of eight essential oils like ginger and tangerine that keep skin hydrated. It’s also available in a 0.2 ounce size that’s perfect for tucking into pockets and purses. "
