VANCOUVER, March 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Geyser Brands Inc.
(TSX-V: GYSR) ("Geyser Brands" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has
finished formulation and production of alcohol-free hand
sanitizer that uses natural ingredients to fight against germs and
bacteria.
Apothecary Naturals "Hand Sanitizer" is produced in a Health
Canada approved Site-Licensed location in Coquitlam, BC. This manufacturing plant
also produces health products that carry Natural
Product Numbers (NPN). Formulated and produced in-house, first
orders are being shipped before the end of March.
Both the BBC & CNN have reported on global shortages, with
many hand sanitizer brands out of stock. According to Radiant
Insights, Inc. the hand sanitizer market is expected to reach
$5.5 billion by 2024 owing to rising
consumer awareness towards hand hygiene and well-being.
As a protective measure against the coronavirus, the World
Health Organization advises to, among other things, "wash your
hands frequently with soap and water or use hand cleaner if your
hands are not visibly dirty."
"Our hand sanitizer is scent free so many hospitals or
organizations and customers don't have to worry about perfumes or
scented oils. The active ingredients kill 99.99% of the
germs." says Apothecary Naturals CEO Brad
Kersch. "In response to surging interest in natural wellness
products worldwide, this product is yet another of our innovations
designed to promote health and wellness with a focus on natural
ingredients. "
The proprietary blend contains:
- Benzalkonium Chloride is an antimicrobial agent. It works by
killing microorganisms and inhibiting their future growth, and for
this reason is often used as an ingredient in antibacterial hand
wipes and antiseptic creams. It is also an alternative to
alcohol.
- Aloe has potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral
properties that help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria that
can cause infections in humans.
- Tea Tree oil - makes an ideal
natural hand sanitizer. Studies have shown that it kills several
common bacteria and viruses responsible for causing illness,
including E. coli, and pneumonia.
An Australian company with a similar base ingredient has been
fast-tracked tested to be 99.99% effective against the COVID-19
virus in Australia. Geyser makes
no claims of this but uses the same base ingredients in its
products.
"Antiseptic Hand Cleanser is your best friend," says
Kuldip Gill, Head of R&D.
"People are looking for the most effective, convenient solution to
stay clean and be healthy. Plant-powered products are not just good
for human health, they are also good for the health of our
planet."
The product will come in four sizes 10ml personal use, 60ml
personal use, 150ml foam family pump version, and a 250ml
refill. he products will be available direct to consumer
