New York, New York (May 12, 2008) Surya Brasil, known for its premier organic and natural cosmetics, announces the introduction of its new organic Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer. A unique product that does more than kill germs, the new formula is made with special plant ingredients from Brazil, which include Aloe for its soothing and healing properties, Jua, a cleansing and refreshing fruit and Acai, a powerful moisturizer and antioxidant rich in protein, omega-9 fatty acid and Vitamin E. According to Bettina Bond, National Educator, “Not only does this product accomplish the job of ridding unwanted germs from the skin, it protects the hands by including plants that soften and moisturize the skin. Most sanitizing products have the effect of killing the germs but it leaves you feeling as if all the moisture has gone out of the dermis and often there is a stickiness that is unpleasant.” The fresh, pleasant scent is derived from a blend of essential oils including Lavender, Peppermint and Ylang Ylang.

Surya Brasil’s Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer is certified organic through Eco Cert and is cruelty-free. Known to be gentle on sensitive skin, the Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer kills 99.99% of germs on the hands when conveniently applied any place, any time. No rinsing is required. The product does not contain mineral oil, parabens, petrochemicals, carbomer, synthetic fragrance or artificial coloring.

Dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, the sanitizer is available in two sizes: pocket size tube (2.02 fl oz/60 ml) for $4.99 SRP and desktop bottle (6.76 fl oz/200 ml) for $14.99. Twelve tube displays are available for merchandising in stores.
