<\/a><\/p>\n

The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic forced many businesses to pivot, seeking new avenues as a means of survival. For Purifi Organic Fresh, the decision to manufacture hand sanitisers and surface disinfectants was simply the natural progression, allowing the team to harness 17 years of industry experience into the development of this 100% organic product.<\/p>\n

\u201cPurifi Organic Fresh has an extensive background in hygiene, originating in the agricultural sector, having provided environmentally-conscious products that promote healthcare,\u201d explained Joshua Dennis, CEO of Purifi Organic Fresh. \u201cWhen Covid-19 arrived, we noted, with some measure of alarm, the extensive use of alcohol- and chlorine-based sanitisers and disinfectants, with little alternative for consumers. We had already conducted extensive research and development in our personal hygiene and cleaning products, so with local and international certification approved, we were able to bring a safer, healthier alternative to market.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that the Purifi Organic Fresh hand sanitiser and disinfectant provides the same level of protection as a 70% alcohol-based sanitiser or disinfectant, without the harmful effects of dangerous chemicals: \u201cPurifi Organic Fresh offers the ideal solution with our organic, alcohol-free, chemical-free, 100% natural, water-based range of hand sanitisers and surface disinfectants. The beauty of Purifi Organic Fresh is that science has collaborated with nature to create products that are safe for the entire family to use. In fact, the product actually helps where others potentially hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the arrival of Covid-19 vaccines, regular sanitizing and disinfecting will continue to be the norm. And while short-term use of alcohol-based products isn\u2019t as much of a risk, Dennis said the concern is the long-term use and exposure to products containing harmful chemicals can have lasting effects.<\/p>\n

Dr Francois Lategan is a qualified independent agricultural innovation advancement specialist with more than 30 years\u2019 experience in the agricultural and natural sciences. He works in close association with The BioConsulting (Pty)Ltd, the formulators behind Purifi Organic Fresh.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the effectiveness of the range, he said: \u201cPurifi Organic Fresh has been developed, based on years of scientific knowledge, to kill bacteria, germs and fungi at a 99.9999% efficacy rate through a unique blend which includes flavonoids. These are naturally-occurring compounds found in fruit and vegetables that have powerful anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory agents that support the immune system. In terms of sanitizing and disinfecting, the flavonoids strip the protein off the walls of viruses (including coronavirus), bacteria and germs which stops them from replicating and spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n

The FDA-approved ingredients\u2019 list of the Purifi Organic Fresh range includes citrus bioflavonoids, botanical extracts, spice extracts, vitamin C, Namibian Myrrh, and Lavender essential oils \u2013 making it, not only safe for use, but actually nourishing and moisturising for the skin as well. And, unlike the harmful effects of alcohol-based sanitisers when inhaled, Purifi Organic Fresh promotes a protective and restorative respiratory experience.<\/p>\n

Karyn Naidoo, CCO of Purifi Organic Fresh, said that education around natural and organic personal hygiene is one of their mandates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the upcoming festive season and it being considered a high-contact time, Purifi Organic Fresh is the ideal solution to spray surfaces, from tables, chairs and couches to your hands, when you are out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe global reality is that Covid-19 is still at large. Purifi Organic Fresh is about enabling you to carry on with your life, while protecting you and those around you.\u201d<\/p>\n
