This Waterless Hand Cleaner quickly dissolves soil for easy removal with a cloth or paper towel. It contains Soy Methyl Ester emollients to keep the skin soft and supple.

The formulation features Cola®Det DEF-40 which is a DEA and MEA-free surfactant that provides an effective, easy-to-use emulsifier for use in lotion-type or “ringing gel” waterless hand cleaners. This product improves the cleaning, rinsing, and rubs out “break” properties of waterless hand cleaner formulations based on odourless mineral spirits, deodorized kerosene, and d-Limonene.

This Waterless Hand Cleaner also features Poly Suga®Mulse D9 which is a PEG-free and naturally derived nonionic fragrance solubilizer made from 100% biobased raw materials.
