It has been well over a year since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the beginning of my frayed nerves. I don’t know about you, but when the virus began its spread across America I was nervous. There wasn’t a lot of data and the experts could only speculate on what we were dealing with. Best to stay home and stay safe. Thus began the exploitation of all things disinfectant. Wipes, sprays, cleaners, and sanitizers of all kinds were flying off shelves both physical and virtual. Thankfully, I’m a bit of a germaphobe (If you want to call it that. Basic hygiene and awareness of other people’s particulates probably doesn’t deserve a phobia title but alas…) so I was stocked up on all the aforementioned products. Yes,  I had a nice stockpile but I didn’t have a year’s worth of disinfecting salvation and soon found myself reaching past the skeletons in my closet in search of some form of hand sanitizing life. That’s when I found it. A tiny aerosol can that had been pushed to the back of my closet and my mind, and everything changed. Thus debuted Touch Sanitizing Germ Block into my life.

Ok, ok  I’m being dramatic but at the time this stuff was basically pure gold! A couple of years or so prior, my sister sent me this hilarious promo video for Touch. It was enough for her to buy a box for the employees at her doctor’s office but I needed a little more convincing. What was the science behind this and how was it possible? It seemed unbelievable to me that it actually worked. I did some research and read through the “How It Works” section of the companies website. Touch is FDA certified, has the same active ingredient as Lysol, and has been lab-tested. So, I  bought a pack to try as well. My 4 pack contained one of each scent (Mint Green Tea, Ocean Mist, Tropical Breeze, and Unscented) of which Mint Green Tea was my favorite. Touch sprays on smoothly and contains essential oils that keep your hands moisturized. It also contains zero alcohol which means no burning if you have a paper cut or hangnail! Of course, the best feature of Touch is its ability to keep your hands protected from germs for up to 6 hours, that is AMAZING!

 I was recently put in touch (pun intended) with Kristi Southard, the co-creator of Touch. She confirmed that the product is FDA-approved and lab-tested. She also shared with me that Touch is making a real difference in the lives of people who are immunocompromised or battling chronic illness, specifically individuals living with cystic fibrosis. The brand as a whole hopes to continue to support the cystic fibrosis community with its product and by donating a portion of the proceeds to cystic fibrosis organizations.  How cool is that?! 

Touch is an amazing revolutionary product be propelled forward by it’s passionate creators. It was especially great for me during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but even as things are returning to normal I can tell you with certainty that you won’t have to search in the back of my closet anymore to find the Touch Germ Block in my house.
