Comments on: Natural Hand Sanitizer That is Safe for Children http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/12/31/natural-hand-sanitizer-that-is-safe-for-children/ Green and Natural Parenting for Eco-Friendly Families Wed, 23 May 2012 08:22:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kristen http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/12/31/natural-hand-sanitizer-that-is-safe-for-children/#comment-1867 Kristen Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:21:24 +0000 http://ecochildsplay.com/2007/12/31/natural-hand-sanitizer-that-is-safe-for-children/#comment-1867 I really want to try out the Clean Well products after reading everyone's comments and the Clean Well website. Just as an FYI, Method soap products are by no means chemical free or natural. In fact they contain the chemical propylene glycol which is found in many soaps and other products people use on a daily basis. Be careful of the term "Natural" because it is very misleading. Propylene glycol is a toxic chemical. The FDA states that propylene glycol is "generally recognized as safe." Doesn't sound too convincing, does it? lol. Another company to avoid is Tom's.

They only kill germs for 15 seconds after use. There's another eco-friendly hand sanitizer out there called SkinWear that does the same thing but protects your hands from germs for up to 8 hours after use. Give it a shot. It's totally safe for kids as well. Be careful with these products. They only kill germs for 15 seconds after use.

We did get some toys from relatives, but I have to say we steered them towards what are children wanted and what we could live with too! We got some great stuff from Plan Toys and lots of art supplies. I feel good, because there isn't a single thing my children got that I don't want in my home or for them to play with, and I don't think any feelings were hurt or anyone suffered. Karen,

I've been wondering how we could replace our Purell, and this really helps! On a side note, I have to admit that I thought it was kind of unfair when I read your article about making a rule that the relatives couldn't get your kids toys for Christmas. . .and then I saw some of the things my son got for Christmas! He got a LOT of great things, but he also got a few things that really made me sympathize with your stance. Thanks so much for this article.

My hubby teaches third-grade and his immune system is comprimised by Lyme Disease so this was a great find!

You can order if from Amazon from one of the links in the post. Preschools are full of germs! I definitely get sick more often as a preschool teacher than I did as an elementary school teacher.
