Natural Esense is extracted from the pith of seville oranges (citrus aurantium) and is a proprietary formula under the bioflavonoid complex classification.
Tested to EN1276, EN1500, EN12054 and EN13704, Natural Esense also recently completed testing required for EN12791, a European regulatory standard for surgical hand disinfection rubs.
Warrington-based Ebiox says Natural Esense provides bacterial, virucidal, fungicidal and sporicidal protection and has a low toxic effect on the hands, even with persistent use.
“The use of synthetically produced chemicals has been a mainstay of our industry for decades, and it has worked. Being able to achieve similar positive results with a natural complex is an exciting development,” said Ebiox commercial director Jeff Smith.
Natural Esense is available as a liquid in 50ml flip top bottles and for use in a wall dispenser that holds 800ml disposable pouches.
The firm says additional formats will be created to accommodate customer requests.
