Ok, I admit it, I’m a germ freak. Even if people don’t know it, I’m internally cringing when touching doorknobs and such. It just grosses me out. My daughter constantly has her hands in her mouth after running around at her school and i just have to accept that the germs are building her immune system. I love my hand sanitizers, but hate the smell and how dry they make my hands. Have you ever eaten something with your hands after applying hand sanitizer? It’s not pleasant. I recently found VMV Hypoallergenics who specialize in effective yet safe products for kids and pregnant women. Their items lack not only all cosmetic allergens, but also all 65 known allergens.

Their Grandma Minnie Mom & Baby line of products really target sensitive skins during pregnancy, lactation and uber sensitive kiddos. Personally, I’m in LOVE with their Kid Gloves Monolaurin Hand Sanitizer. Monolaurin is coconut-derived, skin-friendly, gentle-yet-powerful disinfectant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral + antiprotozoal and is clinically-proven as effective as 70% isopropyl alcohol and topical antibiotics. It also contains green tea for reparative and antioxidant benefits.

I love that instead of drying my skin out, which alcohol can do, Grandma Minnie’s Hand Sanitizer actually moisturizes and softens it. Pick yourself up some of their hand sanitizer that helps to prevent the spread of and clears existing infections.
