Fresh Cleanse anti-bacterial moist towelettes

Antibacterial Wipes

First Scientific's Fresh Cleanse® antibacterial lotion was developed to fill the need for a non-toxic, non-staining, highly efficacious antibacterial lotion that would moisturize and condition skin. Botanical oils and skin emollients formulated within the lotion leave skin feeling soft and smooth while it aids in the healing of minor cuts and abrasions.

Independent Scientific Studies and Lab Results

Study 1 - Antimicrobial Efficacy in Vitro: Time Kill Study

A time kill test was performed to determine how rapidly the Fresh Cleanse® antibacterial wipe kills germs. Test results indicated the wipes removed 99.9% of the bacteria within 15 seconds.

Test 1
Bacteria		Strength	Initial Concentration	% Reduction
E. coli	ATCC8739	1:8 Dilution	3.4 x 10⁹ cfu/ml	>99.99%
P. aeruginosa	ATCC9027	1:8 Dilution	7.6 x 10⁹ cfu/ml	>99.99%
S. aureus	ATCC8538	1:8 Dilution	2.2 x 10⁹ cfu/ml	>99.99%
Test 2
Bacteria		Strength	Initial Concentration	% Reduction
P. aeruginosa	ATCC15442	No Dilution	2.9 x 10⁷cfu/ml	>99.99%
S. typhimurium	ATCC6994	No Dilution	1.5 x 10⁷cfu/ml	>99.99%
S. aureus	ATCC6538	No Dilution	3.6 x 10⁷cfu/ml	>99.99%
Test 3
Bacteria		Strength	Initial Concentration	% Reduction
P. aeruginosa	ATCC1230	No Dilution	1.6 x 10⁷ cfu/ml	>99.99%
S. aureus	ATCC8739	No Dilution	1.0 x 10⁷ cfu/ml	>99.99%
E. coli	ATCC6538	No Dilution	2.4 x 10⁷ cfu/ml	>99.99%

Study 2 - Skin Moisture Content

This study measured skin moisture content after repeated use of the Fresh Cleanse® antibacterial wipe as compared to a baseline (0). The Fresh Cleanse® antibacterial wipe substantially increased skin moisture content leaving skin feeling soft and smooth.
