There is so much controversy on the use of anti-bacterial products!

Products that are anti-bacterial may kill microbes that lead to infection but they also kill good bacteria we need to fight infection.

What if we had something that killed the bad germs and kept the good stuff?

We do! In the plant kingdom! And essential oils embody it!

We need to use essential oils - theliquid intelligence of the plant - to prevent and fight infections!

Thieves Hand Gel does just that........
...........and it feels like a silk glove!

Here is another point about this product:

The alcohol in this hand sanitizer is denatured with Peppermint Essential oil and not the 'drying and unsafe if ingested' isopropyl.

Just to give you a comparison -

Purell Hand Sanitizer is 62% Ethyl Alcohol - and very drying to the skin!

Thieves Hand Gel has wonderful ingredientslike essential oils, and it feels like silk going on the hands - and your hands stay soft.

You know the best part? It keeps working! It creates a glove of protection - unlike the other hand gels that kill everything and dry your hands - and leave your skin unprotected with the good
bacteria that should be there!
