Clean is good…sterile is not

There’s a new way to naturally cleanse your hands and refresh your spirit, and it’s done with the same rejuvenating herbs that have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Created on the principle that “clean is good… sterile is not,” Green Tea Goods Natural Hand Refresher contains a blend of healing Chinese herbal extracts that cleanse and revitalize skin without the dryness and tightness that alcohol-laden hand sanitizers can cause. Keep a bottle with you wherever you go and pour just three drops onto your hands whenever they need a refreshing… after a trip to the store, a long car ride or a jog in the park.

Other cleansers are mostly alcohol and try to mask their caustic smell with artificial fragrance. But Green Tea Goods Natural Hand Refresher is only 12% alcohol and derives its cleansing powers from natural ingredients used in Chinese medicine. Its mood-boosting soft scent comes from its natural ingredients, which are well known for their healing properties as well, including:

· Green Tea Extract—a natural antiseptic and rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radicals

· Ai Ye Extract (Mugwort Leaf)—known for its warming properties

· Gan Cao(Licorice Root)—used to relieve skin irritation, itching, redness

· Jin Yin Hua Extract (Gold Silver Flower Honeysuckle)—used for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties

· Hua Jia Extract (Sichuan Pepper)—used in traditional Chinese medicine to soothe skin irritation and relieve itching

· Huang Lian Extract (Coptis Chinensis)—a cooling herb, used by Chinese herbalists to heal bacterial and viral infections

· Tea Tree Oil—known for its antiseptic, antifungal and antimicrobial activity

· Aloe Extract—well-known in American culture for cooling and healing skin, but also used by Chinese herbalists for its immunity-strengthening abilities

This particular mixture of herbs is based on ancient herbal formulations used for centuries as a natural way to fight germs and bacteria. Green Tea Goods Natural Hand Refresher is brewed in China utilizing the process of traditional Chinese medicinal herbalists.

“What Burt’s Bees was to ChapStick, we’re hoping Green Tea Goods will be to Purel – a natural alternative to a great and much loved product,” says Green Tea Goods founder Barney Stacher. “Mother Nature has been cleaning naturally for thousands of years and we believe we should take our cues from her.”
