Have you ever worried about the antimicrobial products that you use? Are they toxic? Are they environmentally responsible and sustainable?
Benefect's Botanical Disinfectant technology is the answer to these questions. "It's About Thyme.™"
Sensible Life Products is a recognized leader in next-generation botanical antimicrobial technology. The active ingredient is thyme oil that has been specially grown and blended to precise specifications. Sensible Life Products is the largest purchaser of thyme oil in the world.
How can Benefect® disinfectant be less toxic than vinegar?
In nature, plants produce germ-killing 'essential oils' to protect themselves from invading microbes, similar to how our bodies produce antibodies for our protection. Benefect is a blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb thyme, and achieves impressive efficacy and safety profiles without using traditional synthetic chemicals.
Simply put, Benefect is a 'plant immune system' in a bottle.
Over 5,000 years of history shows that microbes do not build up a tolerance or resistance to the antimicrobial action of essential oils. The concentrations of essential oils required to kill microbes have not changed during this entire period. On the other hand, current germ killing practices may lead to resistant organisms, which require stronger, more toxic chemicals and increasingly complicated disinfecting procedures.
Benefect's botanical technology is proven to kill over 99.99% of bacteria and exceeds the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efficacy requirements for broad spectrum hospital disinfectants.
Benefect® has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and environmental impact by the U.S. EPA. It is safe for use around children, pets, the elderly and chemically-sensitive individuals.
Benefect has also been certified by the Environmenal Choice Ecologo Program which is North America's leading benchmark of environmentally-responsible products and services. Their mission is to encourage the supply of products and services that are more environmentally responsible and to help organizations and consumers buy green.
