Soft & Shield Hand Sanitizer and Moisturizer, a Safe and Healthy Alternative to Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizers

An alcohol free hand sanitizer that worried mothers can turn to for use for their children

2012-05-02

HACKENSACK, NJ, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) The current news and publicity of teenagers consuming alcohol based hand sanitizers in an effort to get intoxicated has alarmed parents. In addition, there have been recent reports of many cases of alcohol poisoning by children under 5 from ingesting alcohol hand sanitizers. We believe consumers are seeking a superior and safer product for their families to use.

Many public health officials are becoming worried that these types of incidents could be evidence of a dangerous and serious new fad. With these alarming new reports, we believe concerned parents need a safer alternative to alcohol based hand sanitizers. Soft & Shield is the perfect product to keep children safe and germ free.

Unlike any of the alcohol based products that are commonly sold, Soft & Shield is an alcohol-free, non-toxic, safe for children, and lightly scented moisturizing lotion that serves as an invisible protective glove over the hands. Soft & Shield provides at least four hours of protection and kills 99.99 percent of harmful germs and bacteria.

"We've invented a new lotion which is safe for children, disinfects and moisturizers hands and also keeps germs away for most of the school day," explained Sheldon Wexler, Chief Operating Office of Napp Technologies, LLC. " No longer do people need to keep reapplying unsafe alcohol-based sanitizers, which have a short and limited effect, often resulting in red, irritated skin with repeated use".

Wexler said our goal is to provide a unique product which is a safe alternative to alcohol sanitizers that concerned parents can use for use for their children.

While Soft & Shield is a new product and has not yet entered the national mainstream, Napp Technologies has coordinated limited distribution in key markets. In the tri-state area, there are approximately 100 independent pharmacies stocked with Soft & Shield, plus it has also been made available at small retail chains.

"Soft & Shield is totally a New Jersey based product" Wexler said. " It was invented here, it is manufactured here and it will be distributed from here."

JCI early table of contents for April 30, 2012

2012-05-01

ONCOLOGY Lymphoma therapy could deliver a double punch | Back to top B cell lymphomas are a group of cancers of that originate in lymphoid tissue from B cells, the specialized immune cell type that produces antibodies. The development of B cell lymphoma is associated with several known genetic changes, including increased expression of MYC, a transcription factor that promotes cell growth and division. In this issue of the JCI, Andrei Thomas-Tikhonenko and his colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia report on their studies to better understand the ...

UC Davis researchers create molecule that blocks pathway leading to Alzheimer's disease

2012-05-01

UC Davis researchers have found novel compounds that disrupt the formation of amyloid, the clumps of protein in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease believed to be important in causing the disease's characteristic mental decline. The so-called "spin-labeled fluorene compounds" are an important new target for researchers and physicians focused on diagnosing, treating and studying the disease. The study, published today in the online journal PLoS ONE, is entitled "The influence of spin-labeled fluorene compounds on the assembly and toxicity of the Aβ peptide." "We ...

Key lessons from history on alcohol taxes

2012-05-01

Steep rises in taxes on alcohol do not necessarily reduce consumption, according to research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) into the history of intoxicants in 16th and 17th England. Dr Philip Withington at the University of Cambridge has found that affluence rather than poverty has tended to drive consumption levels, especially among the middle classes and higher,even though legislation and enforcement is often focused on the poorer parts of the population. "If alcohol consumption is traditionally an index of affluence, then minimum pricing ...

Courtship in the cricket world

2012-05-01

Everyone wants to present themselves in the best light - especially when it comes to finding a partner. Some rely on supplying honest information about their attributes while others exaggerate for good effect. A new study by researchers at the University of Bristol, published in PNAS, has discovered how male crickets could use similar tactics to attract a mate. Male crickets advertise for mates by singing loud repetitive songs at night. They rub their wings together, setting them into resonant vibration, making a loud and intense sound, which enables the female crickets ...

Control of gene expression: Histone occupancy in your genome

2012-05-01

KANSAS CITY, MO—When stretched out, the genome of a single human cell can reach six feet. To package it all into a tiny nucleus, the DNA strand is tightly wrapped around a core of histone proteins in repeating units—each unit known as a nucleosome. To allow access for the gene expression machinery the nucleosomes must open up and regroup when the process is complete. In the May 1, 2012, issue of Genes & Development, researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research demonstrate how failure to restore order has lasting consequences. During the process of gene ...

Study finds increase in maternal opiate use, infants born with drug withdrawal syndrome

2012-05-01

CHICAGO – Between 2000 and 2009 in the United States, the annual rate of maternal opiate use increased nearly 5-fold, while diagnosis of the drug withdrawal syndrome among newborns, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), increased almost 3-fold, accompanied by a substantial increase in hospital charges related to NAS, according to a study published online by JAMA. The study is being released early to coincide with its presentation at the Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting. A recent national study indicated that 16.2 percent of pregnant teens and 7.4 percent of ...

Darwinian selection continues to influence human evolution

2012-05-01

New evidence proves humans are continuing to evolve and that significant natural and sexual selection is still taking place in our species in the modern world. Despite advancements in medicine and technology, as well as an increased prevalence of monogamy, research reveals humans are continuing to evolve just like other species. Scientists in an international collaboration, which includes the University of Sheffield, analysed church records of about 6,000 Finnish people born between 1760-1849 to determine whether the demographic, cultural and technological changes ...

High-strength silk scaffolds improve bone repair

2012-05-01

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (April 30, 2012, 3 PM EDT) -- Biomedical engineers at Tufts University's School of Engineering have demonstrated the first all-polymeric bone scaffold material that is fully biodegradable and capable of providing significant mechanical support during repair. The new technology uses micron-sized silk fibers to reinforce a silk matrix, much as steel rebar reinforces concrete. It could improve the way bones and other tissues are repaired following accident or disease. The discovery is reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Prenatal exposure to insecticide chlorpyrifos linked to alterations in brain structure and cognition

2012-05-01

Even low to moderate levels of exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during pregnancy may lead to long-term, potentially irreversible changes in the brain structure of the child, according to a new brain imaging study by researchers from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Duke University Medical Center, Emory University, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. The changes in brain structure are consistent with cognitive deficits found in children exposed to this chemical. Results of the study appear ...

Venus to appear in once-in-a-lifetime event

2012-05-01

On 5 and 6 June this year, millions of people around the world will be able to see Venus pass across the face of the Sun in what will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It will take Venus about six hours to complete its transit, appearing as a small black dot on the Sun's surface, in an event that will not happen again until 2117. In this month's Physics World, Jay M Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College, Massachusetts, explores the science behind Venus's transit and gives an account of its fascinating history. Transits of Venus occur only on the very rare ...
