Hand Spray: Lavender Rosemary

Our Lavender Rosemary Organic Hand Spray* uses a simple formula of organic ingredients; 75% ethyl alcohol, witch hazel, glycerin, and essential oils—that's it! 

Organic Ethanol produced from Fair Trade organic sugar cane. According to the CDC, high proof Ethyl alcohol, at concentrations of 60%–80%, is a potent virucidal (virus killing) agent for many viruses.  (Please click on the picture of the "Organic Cane Ethanol" in the ingredients section to read more about our organic ethanol.)

Organic Witch Hazel is used in this recipe for its skin-soothing properties. 

Organic Vegetable Glycerin is included in this recipe for its moisturizing emollient properties as well as to thicken the solution slightly. The organic glycerin that we normally purchase is derived from organic flaxseed. Depending on availability we may also use glycerin from organic sunflower or palm oils. It is not derived from coconut oil. 

This recipe also includes organic essential oils, many of which have been used for their antibacterial as well as skin-soothing properties for hundreds of years. 

• Lavender: Besides its skin-soothing properties and relaxing aromatherapeutic properties, studies have shown that it has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
• Rosemary: Besides its invigorating fragrance that helps reduce stress, rosemary also has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
