All of the ingredients are 100% renewable, sustainable and biodegradable. It's About Thyme.™
How can Benefect disinfect yet be less toxic than vinegar?
Benefect was tested in a mandatory government toxicity test for drugs. The testing was halted when Benefect proved to be less toxic than vinegar! NO animals were harmed whatsoever in concluding these results! Benefect even has a pH of 7.0, the same as pure water, which means that it is less corrosive than other disinfectants. The Federal Bureau of Chemical Safety has even confirmed that Benefect is suitable for use on food contact surfaces without a rinse or a wipe. Benefect is the only disinfectant to be entirely composed of natural, food grade ingredients (FCC & U.S. GRAS). Benefect is the ONLY disinfectant with no warning labels or cautions for use AND it kills more germs than Lysol or Clorox sprays.
How can a disinfectant that is less toxic than vinegar kill germs?
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 revolutionary blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb Thyme, and achieves remarkable Efficacy & Safety profiles...without using any traditional synthetic chemicals like ammonia or chlorine.
To put it simply, 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 have lead to highly resistant organisms, which require stronger, more toxic chemicals and increasingly complicated disinfecting procedures...in just 60 years.
We have all seen the recent media coverage on 'superbugs' or germs that are now resistant to our strongest antibiotics. If this trend continues and if the way we control germs isn't improved, infections that were once considered minor may become fatal. The time for change is now and Benefect is the sensible alternative.
The Benefect formula is patented worldwide.
