If you’ve ever taken a New York City subway then you’ll certainly understand the urgent need to want to wash your hands. As much as I love New York, I’ll be the first to admit that our subways can be dirty, smelly and downright gross. I remember a time or two when I touched something on the pole that I didn’t even want to know what it was! So what’s a germaphobe to do? Well if you’re like me, you’ll want to carry some hand sanitizer in your purse so that your delicate digits remain germ free.
Well in my quest to find more organic and cruelty-free beauty products I came across Hugo Natural Hand Sanitizer. Hugo Naturals uses the best natural ingredients, natural colors, essential oils and botanical extracts to create luxurious all-natural personal care products. Their hand sanitizer is 95% organic, gluten-free and vegan. It’s made from certified organic lavender essential oil, organic alcohol and aloe vera.
I do have to say that washing your hands is the BEST way to keep your hands germ free, however if you cannot get to a washroom, hand sanitizer is a great alternative; this product has been shown to kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria. This hand sanitizer doesn’t dry out your hands the way conventional sanitizers do, in fact it’s pretty moisturizing. After a few sprays my hands smelled of aromatic lavender which lightly fades away after a few minutes. The hand sanitizer doesn’t leave sticky residue and leave hands satiny soft.
Do you use hand sanitizer or do you wait until you can reach a washroom?
Hugo Naturals French Lavender Organic Hand Sanitizer, $7.99
Lavender is my favourite scent on earth. I have a visceral response to it and can think of little else I like better than the smell of lavender. If a man doused himself in the stuff I would have a hard time keeping my cool.
