Dear reader,
Now that you have just
finished brushing your teeth and done with your morning ritual …you are ready
for another chemical(s) shot…
Yes...Your Hand Sanitizer...
1.
Alcohol
based HS : contains about 60 % to 95
% of Ethyl Alcohol(EA) or Iso Propyl Alcohol(IPA) or n-Propanol or
Povidone-Iodine. Most HS contains EA or IPA. Alcohol kills different types of
bacteria. It also has high anti viral activity
against many different kinds of viruses. Alcohol kills both pathogenic (disease
causing) microorganisms as well as resident bacterial flora, which generally do
not cause illness. Alcohol also strips the skin of the outer layer of oil,
which may have negative effects on barrier function of the skin and loss of
skin lipids. Alcohol also termed as a relaxant and worlds 4th most
addictive substance (Nicotine being the worlds highest addictive and dangerous
substance above Heroine). So every time we rub HS we loose skin lipids,
essential skin oils and the skin resident bacterial flora required by our skin.
And for “I don’t use Alcohol people” it’s a serene way
to consume alcohol and stay sanctimonious.
Non Alcohol based HS :
contains small concentrations of the nitrogenous cationic surface-acting agent like Benzalkonium Chloride or the Chlorinated Aromatic Compound Triclosan or Povidone-Iodine.
Benzalkonium
Chloride and Triclosan are rated as a level 7 high hazard in the Cosmetics
Safety Database. Triclosan has been shown to accumulate in biosolids in the
environment, one of the top seven organic contaminants in waste water according
to the American Toxicology Program. Triclosan leads
to various problems with natural biological systems and Triclosan, when
combined with chlorine e.g. from tap water, produces Dioxins, a probable carcinogen(Cancer inducing agent)
in humans.
2.
Poly Acrylic Acid
as a thickening agent. A so called non toxic
Chemical but definitely a skin and eye
irritant.
3.
Humectants (retains moisture) such as Glycerin for liquid rubs,Propylene Glycols,
and essential oils of plants.
4.
Perfumery chemicals for aroma.
So
how many chemicals you have added to your body after using tooth paste and Hand
Sanitizer. Are we exploring areas for increased cancer risk to our world? We will
check up…wait for more…
Yes..You can say no to chemicals…
Nothing is impossible, If a man tries...and woman cries...
