SJK Products Launches Onepure-handgel, the Alcohol-Free, 100% Natural Sanitising Hand Gel

Feb. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Crawley, West Sussex - SJK Products, well known for its range of waterless vehicle washing products, today, has ventured into new territory by launching yet another waterless product; this time to wash your hands rather than your car.

Onepure-handgel is a novel, alcohol-free, naturally derived, non-toxic, unperfumed and skin-moisturising product which is more effective than any alcohol-containing hand sanitisers on the market today, killing over 99.9998% of all potentially infectious organisms i.e. bacteria, fungi, yeasts and viruses. It also gives superior protection against influenza A (flu) viruses, 99.9998% of which it can kill in under 1 minute. (Full list of pathogens that Onepure-handgel is effective against is available upon request).

In fact, it has been proven in tests that Onepure-handgel is 100 times more effective at killing germs and viruses (such as E Coli, MRSA, HIV virus and all known influenza viruses), than chemical-based hand gels. It is manufactured from naturally derived ingredients: orange pith, olives and tree bark – the exact same ingredients used by the Mongol Empire during the 12th century. The Mongols had discovered that the combination of these indigenous ingredients, when applied to a wound, could not only sterilise the injury thus preventing the onset of infection, but also protect against any new infections developing for many hours after.  Thus, during battles, many warriors made a rapid recovery, and were able to carry on fighting.  

Today, Onepure-handgel is ideal for use wherever there is risk of infection from contaminated hands – particularly relevant to the current Swine Flu epidemic. It has the extra benefit of a long-lasting residual effect, and is the only hand gel that provides protection for more than 4 hours after application, (compared to alcohol-based hand gels which give protection for only 4 seconds). Therefore, 2 applications of Onepure-handgel per day in the workplace or at school give a full day’s protection against all known flu viruses.

Indirect benefits from Onepure-handgel is reduced soap and water consumption, and since the product is self-drying, there is no need for linen or paper towels nor hot air blowers to dry the hands – thus representing a significant cost saving and reduced use of energy and resources.

“As you can see, despite moving into a completely new market niche, our new product has managed to maintain the ‘waterless’ theme. But we are very excited about this new venture - especially as we will be helping to prevent the spread of disease,” says Tim Jones, Chairman.

Onepure-handgel has been dermatologically tested and is suitable for use with sensitive skin and it even moisturises the skin, whereas alcohol-based hand gels have the adverse effect and dry the skin out. In addition, the product has more than a decade of academic endorsements behind it, and has been approved by the Department of Health (HPA), NHS, DEFRA, EU Organic Farming, EN and Halal Food Authority.
