Bio-Safe Skin Lotions are patented innovative polymer lotions, approved by Health Canada (Drug Identification Numbers as non-prescription drugs) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, (CFIA), containing no ethyl alcohol, which kill all common infectious bacteria within 5 seconds of contact with the skin, continuously for at least 4 hours in spite of repeated handwashing. Since they do NOT wash off the user should reapply at least every 4 hours to confirm the antibacterial protection or after 8 hours to confirm the barrier protection against dry red chapped hands caused by 'wet work' and frequent handwashing, and against harsh chemicals, toxics and latex.

In hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics, Bio-Safe Lotions may be worn under gloves as a second layer of protection from pathogens or as protection against the gloved-environment itself, OR as an alternative to gloves. Bio-Safe Lotions prevent dermatitis from frequent handwashing and frequent gloving. They have been shown to increase compliance with pre- and post-patient-contact handwashing.
