Nothing I write can do this product justice!                                                                                                                                                    I suffer from O.C.D (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and I am using hand sanitisers a lot.  When I used them, it left my hands looking like sandpaper.  I couldn't move them without cracking the skin.  One day my Mum found me 'Hands First'.  I was so happy to have a sanitiser to use with no alcohol, and it lasted so much longer than the others.  But the best thing is, no matter how much I use it my hands are left clean and smoother than ever before.  I can go out and be proud to show my hands, I couldn't have asked for anything more.  I am so lucky to have a Mum looking out for me and finding it for me.

"After being approached by a parent who had researched the product, St Johns introduced Hands First into every classroom, office and toilet.  Hands First addressed the issue of hand sanitation, which had been raised at P&C meetings.  The toilets are now a safer environment with less water waste and less chance of children slipping.  It's also a more cost effective solution."

"At Tambrey, Hands First was introduced into the entire school as a preventative measure for a child with cystic fibrosis.  This ensured that not only was the school a safer environment for the child with cystic fibrosis, and the siblings of that child, it also gave the school the peace of mind that they were going above and beyond the call of duty to protect all children."

"At Lake Grace Primary School, Hands First was introduced as an excellent choice for children with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema.  It is an outstanding alternative to soap, which has a higher pH level, encouraging children to sanitise their hands regularly, leaving a smooth feeling due to the aloe-vera in the product.      Lake Grace has Hands First in every classroom, where the children can access it at all times when they sneeze or cough.  Being alcohol and odour free, the children are happy to use the product as it does not leave a stinging feeling or unwanted smell or taste that interferes with eating."

"I first discovered Hands First after having my first baby. I had been  using several other antibacterial hand solutions to sanitise my hands after nappy change and find them very harsh on my hands due to their alcohol content. Hands First was the only product that was gentle on the hands and sanitising - I am a No. 1 fan!"

"Dear Cathy,     thank you so much for all your help with the 'Hands First" and the prompt delivery.   I will be spreading the word and wish your business well and may you prosper.  My daughter is studying Naturopathy and is also interested in this product."

"I am writing to thank you for your product Hands First Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser. My three year old son was diagnosed with having eczema on his hands, due to the soap we had been using for washing his hands. When I asked if a water free spray would be better, the doctor stated that, as majority are alcohol based, they would only make the problem worse because the alcohol would dry the skin out. While shopping in Browns Plains Woolworth's recently, we saw your product advertised on special, and, seeing it was alcohol free (as well as only having one ingredient we couldn't pronounce the name of!), we decided to buy several bottles to try it out. What a difference it made to my son's hands! Within days the eczema had cleared up completely, and a friend even commented on how much better his hands were looking, and feeling. We keep a bottle on the table to "wash" his hands after toileting, and carry a bottle in his bag wherever we go as it is just so handy (not many public facilities offer child height basins). I can't thank you enough for creating this, and I hope it will soon be widely available as it deserves to be. I'd also like to thank you for the information sent regarding the Internet site for purchasing more of this, as I certainly don't want to be going without Hands First after all the good it has done. Kind regards and look forward to seeing Hands First take its rightful place against "the big boys"

 "what a brilliant product. Changing nappies multiple times a day, the standard gel was really starting to dry my hands out. I found the "Hands First Alcohol-Free" and it has really saved my hands. I love it and show all the mums (and dad's) I meet. The convenient 50ml is an ideal size for my nappy bag and the 200ml perfect for the nursery room".

 "As a mother balancing the needs of breast-feeding an infant and the continuous demands of a toddler, I've found "Hands First" indispensable. I can change a nappy in the middle of breast-feeding my infant daughter and resume the feed without having to leave her unattended whilst I clean my hands (especially overnight when my husband is asleep!). It also means any of us (but especially my two and a half year old daughter) can clean our hands when 'out and about' regardless of our location or the facilities available and all without the residual slippery unpleasantness of a gel sanitiser. Yes, I do love your Product :)"

 "I bought Hands First for a recent trip to Bali. We used it religiously before meals, after using the bathroom etc. We didn't have the slightest bit of troubles the whole week, which made us the minority when speaking to other tourists. The foam pump is extremely convenient and I carry it with me for nappy changes etc. My 18 month old loves the novelty of rubbing the foam on her hands and watching it disappear, and it doesn't sting or have a strong odour."

 We all love your Sanitiser! It does not smell, it's not sticky and doesn't dry out our hands.  It caters for everyone, especially those that have sensitive skin.  It is not heavy for our carers to carry in their kits along with their other stuff.  I have to say that I always carry a bottle with me everywhere I go and this is by far the best sanitiser I have ever tried.

  “We thrive ourselves on teaching the children of our service, our future, the appropriate hygiene standards needed in life.  Unfortunately our service cannot provide hot water for hand washing (unless boiling a kettle counts) for after toileting, before eating, after having a hands on artistic experience or just before creating and during a cooking experience for others to enjoy.  We as a community looked at different options before deciding upon a hand sanitizer.  We spent several weeks looking for such a product before deciding we would try your product “hands first” in the pump form.  Our decision came down to the ingredients used in their product, remembering that all our children in care have young delicate skin that can be sensitive to many things.  Mountain Kidz have over 60 children using the service with each of them wanting to be the sanitiser squirter/hand washing police/helpers for the session.  Our children NOW always want to wash their hands with some children pretending they haven’t washed theirs just to get a second go usually just because they love the feel of it and the texture it gives.” We are ready to purchase our 2^nd carton and must say it has been very economical, no paper towel or water wastage.  Huge plus to our environment.  We are very HAPPY with this product because it does its job, OUR children USE it! And even better WANT to use it!"

 "I love using Hands First because I hate the alcohol gels".

"Wow!, what a brilliant product 'Hands First' is!  I am so thrilled that there is finally something that I can use to clean my hands that doesn't "stink' of perfumes or chemicals.  I have severe allergies to both and I have tried other hand cleaners, only to find that the smells trigger my 'allergy asthma' when I put my hands near my face.     "Hands First' is so amazing to clean without using harsh alcohol or perfumes that linger on my skin.  I use it everywhere I go, especially after using the Library Computers. I have smelt my hands after using them - Yuk!    I  used to hate going to the bathrooms at Clubs and not being able to wash my hands due to their 'perfumed soaps', now I simply use my "Hands First'.  It's so easy and convenient.  I've waited a long time for a product like this.  Thanks you a million times for making this hand sanitiser as it has stopped me getting so many 'allergy asthma' attacks.  I will be telling everyone about this fantastic product.  Thank you again with all my heart".

As a lifelong dermatitis sufferer I am careful what I put on my hands, other brands of hand sanitiser have caused irritation and discomfort.  However, Hands First alcohol free hand sanitiser has been the only product I have found that I can conveniently use without causing immediate inflammation and long term soreness.  As a Mum of three, it is nice to know it is gentle enough for my young children to use on their hands too.
