  use is driven by public perception.

  is going on inside that warm, moist atmosphere

  washing protocols as Protec-4 is not a

• Health Care
• CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
  Guidelines recommend the use of alcohol
  sanitizers in hospitals. This guidline was put in
  place before our product was available.
• Many health care facilities follow CDC guidelines
  due to potential liability issues and to maintain
  scoring on JCAHO (Joint Commission on
  Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations)
  accreditation tests.
• Guidelines also call for the use of hand lotions
  to help offset the effects of contact dermatitis.
  HOWEVER, there was a reported incident where
  regular lotion was found to be a carrier of
  bacteria.
• A key element of our lotion is that it also helps
  your skin retain more of its own moisture in
  addition to having aloe and coconut oil in the
  formula.
• Alcohol can be used on top of Protec-4 with no
  change in efficacy.
• Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health Care
