"We at Skinvisible know that our Chlorhexidine Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer Lotion, along with regular hand washing, reduces the spread of this H5N1 virus. The active ingredient in Skinvisible's product is Chlorhexidine (klor-HEX-i-deen), an easily tolerated and effective antiseptic that kills or inhibits the growth of disease-causing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, and is used for surgical scrubs, skin wounds, germicidal hand rinse and antibacterial dental rinse. This compound is delivered via Skinvisible's patented Invisicare(R) polymer delivery system. Studies have further shown that our product stays effective for up to four hours and cannot be rubbed off or washed off." Skinvisible's Chlorhexidine Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer Lotion has recently received government approval in Canada. Mr. Howlett adds: "We, at Skinvisible, continue our efforts around the globe to expand our reach. This has been an important objective for Skinvisible as its business model is focused on licensing its proprietary formulations with Invisicare(R) to Pharmaceutical companies worldwide."
