The ’Touch’ is a Hand Sanitizer Spray Provides Hours of Protection

While being tough on germs, the spray product is gentle on hands, since the alcohol-based formula boasts essential oils and skin-softening ingredients. The simple spray makes it possible for people to spritz their hands for complete protection from everything from playground equipment to contact with others, as well as bacteria-coated handheld devices and other germ-coated surfaces that people are bound to come into proximity with throughout the day.

The ‘Sanitizing GermBlock’ is offered in aerosol cans that offer Unscented and fragranced options like Tropical Breeze, Mint Green Tea Aloe and Clean Mist.
