How It Works

Traditional hand sanitizers and gels are based on old technology. They contain alcohol (normally 70%+), and a range of poisons based on heavy metals – arsenic, lead, tin, mercury, silver, copper, and derivatives thereof. Most will also will contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s). All of these highly toxic chemicals, as well as alcohol, easily absorb through the skin into the bloodstream, and once in the body are very difficult to get rid of, or metabolize. Exposure to toxic metals is associated with many chronic diseases. Recent research has found that even low levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminium and arsenic can cause a wide variety of health problems.

The mode of action for these sanitizers is to leach from the skin surface, soak the surrounding area and chemically poison the microbe. However, in doing this it is also soaking the surrounding environment in toxins, raising concerns for the environment in general and your skin in particular. Once the alcohol dries off, the killing action stops and the germs return. They need to be re-applied often for
continuous protection, resulting in damage to and drying of the skin, and even more absorption.

There is now a safe, effective and durable alternative that:
• Does not use poisons or toxins.
• Does not leach or transfer or absorb.
• Does not harm your skin
• Has a physical rather than a chemical mode of action.

Q Shield is a unique new technology, patented and an FDA registered formula. It is a disinfectant that uses a new generation of silicone polymers to serve as its preferred surface application to prevent and inhibit microbial infestation.

It is applied by simply spraying onto the hands and rubbing them together for a few seconds, until air dried. It forms a microscopic coating on the skin, and becomes bonded to it. You cannot see it or feel it, but can rest assured it is there.
