Germ Free 24 - Hand Sanitizer

This Germ Free product line is state of the art technology and unlike any product available on the market today. AMOSILQ, the active ingredient, is totally unique in structure, effectiveness, persistence and application. It is a material which chemically combines proven antimicrobial chemistry with the protective, moisturizing capabilities of silicones in a single molecular compound.  

The water soluble AMOSILQ transforms to an invisible macro polymeric, polyionic layer on application to the skin which is not removed by repeated hand washing or rinsing. Not being removed by water, Germ Free 24 offers continuing antimicrobial protection coupled with long term moisturizing qualities. Germ Free 24 eliminates not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungi which can cause ringworm, and fungal nail infections.  

Application to the skin not only eliminates and inactivates bacteria, viruses and fungi, but also prevents reinfection. Germ Free 24 does not build or increase antibacterial or antimicrobial resistance in pathogens on repeated or prolonged use.

 The big difference between Germ Free 24 and other hand sanitizers on the market today is the other hand sanitizers are primarily ethyl or isopropyl alcohol formulations which are largely antibacterial in nature. While they will eliminate selected bacteria on application to the skin, they offer no residual germ killing properties. Application of these products to your hands will not only dry out your skin, they offer a fresh surface for germs to reinfect as soon as your hands are dry. Germ Free 24 is the only product that remains on your hands for all day protection. Germ Free 24 also moisturizes as it protects. The problem with using other hand sanitizer products is that without the antimicrobial barrier provided by Germ Free 24, they just become a new breeding ground for more germs. Germ Free 24 with AMOSILQ protects you from all types of germs all day long and actually makes your hands germ fighting machines. This technology is so unique and important that it is patent protected. U.S. Pat. No.6,613.755. 

 Bacterial Elimination on Hands Over 64 Hours Using Germ Free 24

Comparison of Treated and Untreated Hands

The above chart demonstrates the longevity of Germ Free 24on skin. The above testing was conducted by an independent laboratory for over 2 ½ days on human hands engaged in normal daily and evening activities. Surface wipe samples of approximately 100 square centimeters were obtained from the hands at the hours indicated in the above chart, sealed and recorded on Chain-of-Custody forms and analyzed at a separate independent testing laboratory. Bacterial results are reported in colony forming units per square centimeter (CFU/cm²).Both gram negative and gram positive bacteria were sampled and combined in the testing report.         

As indicated by the foregoing testing, Germ Free 24 with AMOSILQ will remain and retain its antimicrobial germ fighting capabilities for up to 64 hours. While the use of Germ Free 24 is recommended to be applied daily, the above testing indicates that even if you forget or are unable to apply the product due to travel or an emergency, you are still protected against infection and disease causing germs.

Germ Free 24 is a new and completely unique method of promoting and protecting the health of adults and children. This product is unlike the common alcohol based antibacterial products on the market today as it is formulated with a minimum amount of alcohol (to protect it from freezing) and to insure it will not dry the skin and cause redness, chapping and flaking.  Alcohol based products on the market today contain greater than 60 % alcohol which is a skin irritant, flammable and the persistent use of which has been reported to decrease the ability to fight off infections. Germ Free 24 contains a new, FDA approved active material called AMOSILQ which is not only effective against bacteria, but also viruses and fungi. On application to the skin, AMOSILQ forms an invisible, odorless, moisturizing layer that will not wash off and continues to be effective against microbial pathogens for up to 64 hours.

 Background

 Most conventional hand sanitizers are gels comprised of ethyl alcohol in a thickened organic base. Their activity is primarily antibacterial, not antimicrobial and is limited to their presence on the skin which immediately ceases when evaporated from the skin. After application, they leave the skin surface very susceptible to reinfection. Their antibacterial properties are not persistent after application.

 Germ Free 24 Hand Sanitizer is a specially formulated product containing the antimicrobial active ingredient, AMOSILQ. This active ingredient is unlike any product for topical skin application on the market today.  On application to the hands, an antimicrobial, polymeric film is formed which is substantive and will remain through a minimum of ten hand washings. The AMOSILQ film formed on application of Germ Free 24 retains its broad spectrum antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activity for up to 64 hours. It derives its antimicrobial activity through contact with the pathogen and causing disruption of the cellular wall, a process termed lysis. 

 The AMOSILQ film is not incorporated into the pathogen cell and therefore no increased drug type resistance by the pathogen is acquired. The AMOSILQ ingredient contains a silicone material that orients to the skin surface during application to produce a protective, moisturizing film.
