Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel is effective as a preventative measure in the battle against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that cause infection. It contains Manuka Honey as an antibacterial agent and is capable of destroying bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, VRE, MRSA, etc.
According to the CDC, bacterial infections account for almost 2 million health complications each year, 100,000 of which are fatal. Most hand gels contain alcohol to kill germs. Alcohol may have the ability to kill germs but it also dries the skin out and cracks it, giving germs the opportunity to get on the inside where they can cause far more harm than on the surface of the skin. Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing contains Manuka Honey which is a natural humectant that counteracts the drying effect of alcohol by moisturizing the skin, leaving hands felling soft, fresh and clean without the need for water.
Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity primarily due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide which is formed in a slow-release manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Manuka Honey can be diluted and still destroy bacteria very efficiently. It also contains an additional antibacterial compound found only in honey produced from the Leptospermum plant which is known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. In addition, Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial which means that it can destroy any infectious microorganisms whether they are bacterial, viral or fungal.
With the widespread risk of contracting MRSA and experts predicting the emergence of new drug-resistant bacterial strains in the future, this product offers a safe and effective way to protect against infection.
