Vi-Jon Laboratories, St. Louis-based personal care products manufacturer, announces the addition of Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soap to its branded Germ-X line of products.
Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 7, 2005
Vi-Jon Laboratories, St. Louis-based personal care products manufacturer, announces the addition of Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soap to its branded Germ-X line of products. Just in time for the holidays and National Hand-washing Awareness Week on Dec. 4-10, Germ-X Ultimate foaming soaps are fun to use because they don’t require water to lather. The bottle’s pump action dispenses the soap’s moisturizing and germ-killing formula. The foaming soaps are proven to eliminate 12 times as many germs as ordinary hand soap, contain increased moisturizers, and are triclosan free. Germ-X Ultimate foaming hand soap joins the family of Germ-X hand sanitizing products, including one of the best selling sanitizing gels—Germ-X. Germ-X products are recognized as leaders in the fight to keep your family germ free, eradicating 99.99 percent of harmful germs that cause illness.
With the holidays approaching, flu shots at a premium and people sacrificing sleep and normal exercise and eating habits, immune systems are under increased strain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza steadily increased throughout December 2004 and into January 2005. In order to promote health and good hand hygiene this holiday season, Vi-Jon Laboratories recognizes National Hand-washing Awareness Week. The purpose of this week is to bring awareness to and emphasize the importance of hand hygiene and eliminating the spread of germs.
One way to give the gift of health this winter is with a bottle of Germ-X Ultimate. The soaps come in a variety of colors and fragrances, such as Lightly Lavender, Sea Side Surf and Perfectly Paradise. The soaps are also unique in that they provide maximum antibacterial protection, include an easy dispensing pump for kids and adults and have decorative packaging for use throughout the house.
The Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research is currently reviewing the chemical triclosan, often found in antibacterial soaps, and determining whether or not it is effective in eliminating and preventing bacteria and meeting environmental standards. Germ-X Ultimate foaming hand soap and Germ-X Hand Sanitizer are both triclosan free.
“We have worked very hard in developing the Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soaps and are proud to introduce them to consumers, especially at this time of year when the cold and flu is in full force. We know it will make for a perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season,” said Diane Beffa, brand manager. “It was easy for us to choose the name Ultimate for this product as it provides ultimate moisture to hands, ultimate germ eliminating capabilities and ultimate cleaning power! We had one mother of five tell us that she never writes to manufacturers about products—good or bad, but ‘my family loves Germ-X Ultimate Foaming Hand Soap so much, and it left my hands softer than any other soaps I have used, I simply had to write to tell you.’”
There are approximately 130 uses in a 7.5oz bottle of Germ-X Ultimate, which is the same usage as traditional liquid hand soap.
