Kates Corn e r ' This month I wanted to share a product that I’ve been a huge fan of with all of the craziness that Covid-19 has caused. In this time of chaos, it’s more import- ant than ever to support the small businesses that are working hard to keep themselves and their staffs afloat all while helping their communities. Unlike many ma- jor corporations, who are cutting corners and putting everyone at risk to save their CEO’s a few dollars, small businesses put people first. Papa Made hand sanitizer, made by Second Nature, is one of those family owned businesses doing their best in these trying times. Unlike many brands launching over priced, under proffering hand sanitizers for profit alone, Papa made is set at a reasonable price with an effective product. I love the values and inspiration for Papa Made and wanted to share some words from the maker, “Originally, it was made for my family, especially my daughter who became a flight attendant. When she decided to become a flight attendant, I began to worry about various viruses within the confined space. I tested several popular brands of hand sanitizers and it all failed the test. Even with heavy volume of use, bacteria and fungi still survived. I just couldn’t rely on their products and had to make one myself. A perfect hand sanitizer, “a lean, mean, fighting machine that will protect my baby.” I named it “Papa Made” because I only made it for my family and didn’t plan to sell it as a commercial product. Its not because other families don’t deserve the Papa Made, but because price wouldn’t be right when comparing it with other popular brands. When using proper amount 78 C O S M O B I Z M A G A Z I N E of ingredients with substantial amount of essential oils and aloe vera, the cost of the product doubles or triples. With coronavirus threatening our nation, people may loose their jobs and our economy can go into reces- sion or even depression. We cannot let that happen. We must get rid of this virus. Papa Made Hand Sanitizer is made under GMP guide- lines and fully registered with FDA. Let’s kick this virus’ butt and keep our babies safe.”
