At the beginning of February this year we tested our latest product, All-Natural Hand Sanitizer with a simple hand washing experiment.

The method was extremely simple. Take three (3) pieces of white bread. Leave one blank as a control. Press our hand onto one piece without hand sanitizer. Press our hand into another piece of bread after applying our hand sanitizer.

Our results were shocking, to say the least.

No mould growth!! Even after 2 weeks!! Not even on the control.

Now begs the question. Exactly how much preservative is being put into our white bread? And are these levels even healthy?
