Purifi™ is proudly formulated and manufactured in the USA.
While it’s widely known that Benzalkonium Chloride is an effective anti-microbial substance, Purifi™ goes beyond this with its Smart Shield.
This patented technology acts like billions of microscopic “swords” that kill microbes on contact. This innovation allows Purifi™ to work when dry and continue its effectiveness for hours.
Ok. Get ready for some science – hopefully in as plain English as we can make it 😊.
When microbiologists calculate the degree of effectiveness of a substance, they use a logarithmic scale (log scale). This scale is expressed in a kind of shorthand called a “log reduction”.
The level of log reduction is stated in the number of 9’s in the percentage reduction as follows:
1 log reduction = 90% reduction
2 log reduction = 99% reduction
3 log reduction = 99.9% reduction
4 log reduction = 99.99% reduction
5 log reduction = 99.999% reduction
6 log reduction = 99.9999% reduction
So, the percentage reflects how many microbes were removed from the surface after testing. Since “nothing is 100%”, the highest potential reduction is a “6-log”, meaning 6 nines are in the percentage of reduction.
Typically, when a product performs with 3-logs (99.9%) or greater it is deemed bacteriostatic by FDA standards. This is why most hand sanitizers say 99.9% on the label since they have likely demonstrated a 3-log.
Under testing, Purifi™ antimicrobial hand sanitizer exhibited an excellent antimicrobial performance of greater than a log 6 (99.9999) reduction against Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus), a common skin inhabitant in ISO large droplet inoculation method (50 uL) on VITRO-SKIN as a leave on surface sanitizing antiseptic. Long lasting residual antimicrobial activity was demonstrated up to 6 hours after product application which is expected to last for 24 hours with regular use and abuse conditions.
PURIFI does not use poisons or chemicals. It is a complete destruction of the microbe with no chance for survival.
Because Purifi™’s killing action is mainly mechanical, there is no known or anticipated risk for microbes to mutate into a Super Bug. This is due to the bound technology of Purifi™.
Other technologies work by “uploading” into the microorganism resulting sometimes in a mutation of the original microorganism.
Many chemicals and disinfectants, including alcohol, do what is called “leaching” or “off-gasing”. This is why you can smell them since their molecules are in the air as well as on the surface you apply them to.
Purifi™ does not leach or off-gas.

Purifi™ moisturizes your skin using aloe vera, vitamin E and glycerin. Because it’s alcohol free, it is formulated to not dry out your skin with repeated use.
Purifi™ gently applies a breathable soap-silicon protective barrier to your hands, continuously destroying harmful germs and disrupting germ adhesion to your skin.
You can think of it like an invisible, breathable, antimicrobial “glove”, that is not absorbed into your skin, but instead shields it.
You can't feel it because it's microscopic. Once dry, it feels like you've put on lotion.
The patented antimicrobial technology safely kills microbes on contact. It is not absorbed by the skin but instead bonds to the surface for up to 24-hours.
As your skin sheds, the Purifi™ comes off. For maximum protection, application every 6 hours is recommended.
Purifi™ treated surfaces are safe & unaffected by repeated cleanings. As long as the cleaning solutions used have a pH of between 3-10.5 there will be no reduction in efficacy.
Purifi™’s bound technology forms a breathable soap silicon barrier on your hands. You can think about it like an invisible, breathable “glove” that is not absorbed into your skin, but instead shields it. This barrier only comes off when your skin sheds which is why it should be applied every 6 hours for maximum protection.
If you use abrasive substances on your hands, it is recommended to wash and dry them thoroughly, then re-apply your Purifi™.
Purifi™ is safe for the environment, humans, and pets. It is non-toxic, non-dissipating, non-leaching, non-migrating from the applied surface and cannot be absorbed by either micro-organisms or by humans.
