Alcohol FREE Hand Sanitizer Ava Anderson Non-Toxic Products

NEW AVA ANDERSON PRODUCT! Hand Sanitizer




 
Ava Anderson just launched a Non Alcohol Hand Sanitizer, with organic ingredients. They are so proud to supply you, your families and customer with this fabulous product. Please remember that there are very few competitors in the market (and now we are one of them). Many claim to be natural and use ethanol (same thing as alcohol), some claim to be organic and use benzalkonium chloride -- a "6" (carcinogen) on the database. Most use triclosan, and other harmful toxic chemicals.

Here is more information that you should be aware of:

Test results indicate that our sanitizer kills 99.99% of common household and community germs, including those transferred from person to person, from animal to person and from hard and soft surfaces to person. 

The following pathogens were killed at a percentage equal or greater to 99.99% within 15 seconds after exposure to the product:
  • ·         Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus
  • ·         Gram-negative bacteria, including E-coli
  • ·         Viruses, including Herpes simplex Type 1 & Human Coronavirus
  • ·         Fungus, including Trichophyton

Specifically the tea tree and neem in our product and all of the organic essential oils have anti-microbial properties. Some interesting information concerning Alcohol-based hand sanitizers v. Non-Alcohol based hand sanitizers:

Alcohol is notorious for removing oil from skin.  This oil is one of the body's primary natural defenses against bacteria. Tests demonstrate that repeated use of alcohol based hand sanitizers can actually lead to increased bacteria on the skin over time.  In other words, ongoing use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers become less effective the more frequently they are used. Not to mention, dry ,cracked, damaged skin.


Subjectively, users of essential oil based waterless hand sanitizers report a far greater level of satisfaction with the condition of their skin and hands.  Almost 50% of individuals using alcohol based hand sanitizers report doing so at the expense of comfort and skin condition. Our AVA Hand sanitizer leaves your hands silky soft, form the organic aloe and essential oils. It is an amazing product, and it smells fantastic.

MAXINE'S SIDE NOTE:
For years I have used Tea Tree Oil and Neem in my treatment room. These oils produce amazing results for acne and post waxing for cleansing and inflammation.
.   Neem's antiseptic properties are gaining recognition against a variety of skin diseases, septic sores, and infected burns. When the leaves are applied in the form of a poultice, it is recommended for boils, ulcers, and eczema. The oil is used for skin diseases such as scrofula, indolent ulcers and ringworm. Neem has been used traditionally in India to treat a host of viral infections and twigs are split and used to brush teeth in more rural areas.
Neem Leaf


Tea Tree Oil has been Mother Nature's antiseptic for years. This natural plant oil has scientifically-proven antiseptic and fungicidal properties. It has a great many uses, including acne, vaginal infections, athlete's foot, warts, insect bites, cold sores, minor burns, thrush and chronic fatigue syndrome.. Researches learned that the oil contains a powerful substance called terpinen 4 OL. This is the main ingredient responsible for it's germ-killing powers. In fact, you could think of terpinen 4 OL as Mother Nature's version of turpentine.

Ava Anderson Non-Toxic Hand and Body Lotion

Ava Anderson Non Toxic
8 oz Hand and Body Lotion

Our Hand & Body Lotion is formulated to go beyond what typical lotions are designed to do. Most lotions on the market create an immediate appearance of hydration and softness. Yet the majority contain ingredients that actually dehydrate the skin when used on a regular, long-term basis. The result of these formulas is best described as an intentional dependence…the more consumers use them, the more they seem to “need” them. Ava’s Hand & Body Lotion delivers genuine, meaningful hydration and moisturizing benefits to the skin. You will notice an improvement immediately and even more improvement over time. Our Lotion is safe & nourishing for the skin, and free of the toxins, irritants & harsh chemicals that could cause damage to the health of the body as a whole (and the environment, too). INGREDIENTS: organic aloe vera gel, behentrimonium methosulfate, organic coconut oil, organic apricot kernel oil, organic olive oil, organic sweet almond oil, organic shea butter, avena sativa (oat) kernel flour, allantoin, geogard ultra, potassium polysorbate, organic sweet orange essential oil, organic citrus lemon essential oil, organic pomegranate oil.

What's in YOUR Lipstick? You'd be shocked!

Safe Cosmetics 


Do you know that there are toxins and unsafe chemicals in the cosmetics and skin care products that we use every day? Ava Anderson Non-Toxic can inform you of the dangers and at the same time offer you a safe solution. After months of research and work with formulators from several leading cosmetics manufacturers, founder Ava Anderson launched a line of cosmetics and skin care that contains none of the harmful chemicals she warns you about.


You will be shocked at the ingredients in your products and your children’s products!


Its very easy to look up your products at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. You will see an overall hazard score from 0 to 10. Then, be sure to click on the product to see the disease implications of your ingredients.  Even “natural,” “organic,” “pure,” “dermatology tested” and “Dr, recommended” products, and those with a low to moderate hazard score can contain nasty ingredients- parabens, PEGs, PPGs, triclosan, 1,4 dioxane, ‘s, formaldehyde, SLS, and hundreds of others. Consider the “body burden” of a lifetime of exposure to the toxic ingredients in these products.


The Ava Anderson Non-Toxic solution

 
 

“While Americans are regularly exposed to toxic chemicals in their everyday consumer products - from plastic softeners that can contribute to sexual malformations to cosmetics additives that can cause cancer - much of the world is following the European Union’s lead in adopting stricter safety standards. Contrary to the PR coming from corporate headquarters, business is no less profitable in Europe as a result of high standards - in fact, business is often better, when consumers are confident of product safety. The result of this global double standard: U.S. businesses lose ground to international competitors while U.S. citizens are exposed to an ever growing list of toxic chemicals. A win-win solution for business and consumers is there for the taking, but who will lead the fight?”
Mark Schapiro,
Editorial Director of the Center for Investigative Reporting


NO parabens¸ NO PEGs or SLS, NO synthetic “fragrance” (manufacturers can hide up to 600 ingredients in this “ingredient” without listing it on the label!)  and No hidden ingredients or contaminants - NO phthalates, No nitrosamines, NO formaldehyde.

MY STORY


I was a typical teenager in 2008 when, at the age of 14, I saw a report with my mom on a study about hazardous chemicals in the bloodstream of teens commonly found in cosmetics and skin care products. The study was performed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), See study at right. We were both shocked, and I immediately went to my room to begin what would turn into months of research. The more I learned, the more alarmed I became. I started searching for safe products for my family, my friends and myself. After hundreds of hours of research it was apparent that although the market was flooded with “organic”, “natural”, “safe” and “pure”, there were almost always toxic ingredients and chemicals in there, as well, not to mention the ones hidden in the ingredient “fragrance.” I managed to find some “ok stuff” but nothing that was truly non-toxic. Among other resources, I usedwww.CosmeticsDatabase.com, created by EWG, to guide my search to find products that had only “0’” hazard scores, on a scale of 0-10. Even the products with 1’s, 2’s and 3’s, had concerning health implications. By this time I had thrown away numerous unsafe products, as well as those of my mother and both grandmothers, but was unable to provide anyone with replacements. Everyone was a bit unhappy with me, to say the least. I was also very frustrated with the reality that trying to make good choices had become a full time job, with no results. Every time I shared the toxic message with someone, they always had the same question, “well, what CAN I use?” I had no good answer.

I had become really angry at how consumers were unaware of the risks of personal care products, and that even those who thought they were making safe choices were unaware of the true nature of the ingredients in their products. I can’t tell you how many times people would say to me, “Well, I am all set, because I buy “X natural” brand from the health food store.” People really think they are safe from dangerous chemicals, and they are not. After eight months of this, I realized that the only solution would be to create my own products. Through a family friend we found a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to my standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas and I had to reject many proposed formulations. Finally, after much hard work by a lot of people, the first full line of skin care and cosmetics in which every ingredient in every product rates "zero" on the Cosmetics Database, is here. I want to thank my parents who never said “no.” I am very lucky that they were able and willing to help me do this.
