Athletic Body Care is alcohol free and therefore has none of the ill effects associated with alcohol-gel based sanitizers. Research from several studies has concluded that the frequent use of alcohol based sanitizers actually increases the number of bacteria on the skin.

Alcohol gel strips away the skin’s natural oils and severely dry the skin with repeated use. This effect has many negative implications that reduce the effectiveness of alcohol based products in real world environments. For example, users of alcohol based products often complain of the drying and irritation resulting from prolonged use, and are therefore prone to avoid their repeated use. Additionally, alcohol based products not only dry the skin, but also cause the formation of small cracks in the skin increasing the skin’s capacity to trap and carry disease causing germs.

Alcohol begins evaporating from the skin almost immediately after it is applied. Upon evaporation of the alcohol, it’s killing power is gone, leaving the skin dry, chapped, and susceptible to infection. Unlike alcohol, Athletic Body Care will not sting or burn when it comes in contact with small cuts and scrapes. The patented SAB delivery system found in Athletic Body Care actually has a soothing effect on small cuts and abrasions.

Some makers of alcohol sanitizers have added emollients, such as Aloe Vera, to try and reduce the drying effect of the alcohol. However, the emollients remain on the skin after the alcohol has evaporated, and these emollients remain. The remains are sticky, unpleasant to feel, and can be transferred. The sticky emollient residue can actually become a “germ magnet” and collect germs from surrounding surfaces and skin contact. A better solution is the unique, alcohol-free formula found in Athletic Body Care that leaves the skin cleaner and softer with repeated use.

Athletic Body Care contains the germ-killing ingredient Benzalkonium (ben-zal-coney-um) chloride, or BAC. This anticeptic has been used for over 60 years in hospitals and doctors offices. It is approved for safety and effectiveness in anticeptic applications ranging from skin treatments to surface sanitizers. It has even been approved by the FDA for use as a germkilling ingredient in mouthwashes.

The patented SAB technology in Athletic Body Care is comprised of Surfactants, the wound healing agent Allantoin, and Benzalkonium Chloride. SAB technology is unique and the key to Athletic Body Care’s superior efficacy as an antimicrobial instant skin sanitizer.

Athletic Body Care is formulated to be highly beneficial to the skin. It does not break down the skin’s natural water barrier, as do alcohol-containing products; instead, Athletic Body Care protects that barrier and helps preserve the skin’s natural oils. Athletic Body Care contains Allantoin a natural emollient and skin softener that helps the skin stay healthy especially with repeated use.

The performance of Athletic Body Care Instant Sanitizer not only exceeds FDA standards, but its effectiveness actually improves with repeated use. This unique formula does not contain alcohol, and will not dry or irritate the skin. The killing action of Athletic Body Care is persistent, which means its effect continues even after the product has been absorbed into the skin.
