With the Hand Protector it’s not about killing, it’s about inhibition of growth in the first place. All bad bacteria binds to hands fairly easily, that is why medical staff are constantly applying sanitiser. We know that alcohol sanitiser evaporates in less than 20 seconds, making hands susceptible to germs again. It also burns off a layer of your natural skin oils, and the long term effects are incredibly detrimental. The body can absorb 60% of products applied so hand sanitisers are not a long term solution! 

Instead, byebyebad™ applies a layer over the skin that inhibits the growth of bad bacteria, allowing the good bacteria to thrive. The more good bacteria are thriving on your hands, the more you are nourished and protected with your ‘invisible glove’.

• Just takes two little sprays to start working
• It’s an alcohol-free, nasty chemical-free, NZ-made natural hand protector that increases in potency after application and stays active for up to 24 hours
• It’s been tested and proven against a range of household pathogens
• It protects against 99.99% of bugs and successfully inhibits growth of bacteria both rapidly and effectively
• It’s a skin rejuvenation system utilising well known, effective natural ingredients -  Totarol™, Echinacea, Manuka, Kawakawa, Hemp and Aloe Vera - to moisturise and restore skin PH levels
• The more applications on the hands, the more potent it becomes

Apply two sprays or pumps of Natural Hand Protector to your hands and rub together, spreading around your hands, along and between fingers until absorbed.

Prebiotics are food for the good bacteria on your skin that keeps them fed and nourished. Like a garden that needs fertilizer to help it grow & thrive, prebiotics help your skin flourish and stay healthy by feeding the good bacteria that help to balance your microbiome. Prebiotics are typically delivered via plant-based sugar molecules and oils that the skin's microbiome gobbles up, keeping your skin nurtured & protected.

Our Hand Washes & Mouth Refresher contain prebiotics because they target areas of the body (hands and mouths) where the microflora is flourishing, and ensuring the good bacteria are looked after here is key.

Benzyl alcohol occurs in nature in many essential oils and plants, and it is used as an effective liquid preservative for skincare. So although it belongs to the alcohol family, its physical forms and properties are very different to say ethyl alcohol that we find in beer, wine and hand sanitisers for instance. When we say alcohol free, we are referring to common alcohol, which is used in cosmetics, but can cause reactions. Although benzyl alcohol is technically an alcohol, it is not classified as a drying or denatured alcohol like ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, which are commonly associated with skin irritation and dryness.
