Zytrel Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer and Moisturizing Lotion

bottle_lotion

This is one of the greatest new products I’ve tried in a long time. Zytrel makes an Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer that also contains a Moisturizing Lotion. The problem I have with most hand sanitizers is that they tend to dry mine and my son’s skin, even stinging when we use it. This product, however, goes on smooth and silky, like a lotion, and absorbs quickly. It promises to kill 99.99% of germs in the first 15 seconds, and goes on to kill bacteria for 4 hours. The moisturizer even improves the condition of your skin. You can’t ask for much more than that from a hand sanitizer! It does not contain Triclosan like many other hand sanitizers, which also makes me feel good about using it (triclosan has been found to be a possible health threat, as it is a chemical that can cause the production of chloroform when exposed to tap water). You can purchase the 2 oz. size of Zytrel Hand Sanitizer/Moisturizing Lotion for just $4.99, or the larger 16 oz size for $14.99, at Zytrel.com.

I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean Tee by SquidFire

st-biggest-blue

I don’t know if all kids go through this, but my son’s been in a stage for the past year or so where he loves anything having to do with underwater life. He would absolutely love this tee based on Kevin Sherry’s children’s book, “I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean.” I love the bright blue marine color of the tee, and the fact that it comes in a wide range of sizes from x-small (2-4 years) to medium (10-12 years). Each tee SquidFire makes is printed by hand, so each is an original work of art. How refreshing! This tee sells for $15 at SquidFire.com.

AYU Baby Slings

p1000681

Recently I was introduced to AYU baby slings, manufactured with handicraft adornments made by Colombian Wayuu natives located in the Guajira zone. The fabric of these slings is rich on designs that come from environmental elements and imply a mystical meaning. Many of the natives creating these slings have been displaced by violence and live in very unstable conditions. Through the sale of their handicrafts, they try to survive. More information on these unique slings, including how to purchase them, can be found at PortabebesAUY.blogspot.com.
