Saniboost™ technology to improve the efficacy and prolong the activity of alcohol-based sanitizers
Proprietary Saniboost™ technology, developed by scientists at Rutgers University, uses a standardized, plant-derived formulation based on ingredients generally regarded as safe (GRAS) to enhance and prolong the effectiveness of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. This easy-to-manufacture, clean-label formulation strongly inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi on skin and other biotic and abiotic surfaces after alcohol evaporation. Its effectiveness on human hands was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study conducted at Rutgers University. Saniboost™ technology enables the development of the next generation of safe, effective, natural, and longer-lasting sanitizers for clinical, institutional, public, and domestic settings.
