COVID

I’ve been looking for a hand sanitiser that is packaged in a glass bottle and I recently found this one from Mare & Itis, so I just had to share it with you.

mare & itis

Mare & Itis is a Durban-based small business started by Anele, who is passionate about essential oils and natural products and started making her own products after not being able to find suitable natural products whilst on her travels abroad. All the Mare & Itis products are natural and non-toxic and vegan. Mare & Itis also sell a natural insect repellant, as well as various oil products and an Eco-Lux gift box.

the ingredients and the packaging

The Mari & Itis 50ml hand sanitiser smells amazing and is made with Aqua, Denatured Alcohol, Lemongrass Essential Oil, Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol.  It is packaged in a reusable amber glass bottle, which I love!

where to buy?

This Hand Sanitiser is available from The Re-Store, an online zero-waste store which is where I bought it from. You can also buy it from the Mare & Itis online shop and from Faithful to Nature, Yuppiechef & LMDA

If you are looking for good sanitizer during this pandemic, then I recommend trying this Vegan Tea Tree Sanitizer from Saponera.

^ This product was gifted to me. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Even though washing your hands with soap and water is still the best option, I carry sanitizer with me, for when I don’t have access to either. Saponera is a local Cape Town-based brand that is passionate about creating natural plant-based products that are free from harmful chemicals and animal products and is greywater safe.

The ingredients:

The tea tree sanitizer is made with top-grade ethyl alcohol derived from sugar cane. It also contains Aloe Vera, which offsets the drying effect of alcohol on the skin, and Tea tree essential oil which has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

The packaging lists the following ingredients: Denatured sugarcane alcohol, aqua, aloe barbadensis extract, melaleuca alternafolio (tea tree) oil.

The packaging:

There are two packaging options when buying this product: 100ml PET spray bottle or a 500ml Refill. To date, I have not managed to find a glass-bottled sanitizer spray. I will reuse this bottle, instead of it ending up as waste once the sanitizer is finished.

Where to buy?

The Tea Tree Sanitizer is available directly from the Saponera online shop.
