VMV Hypoallergenics has been making some of the most exhaustively researched and tested skin care products in the world since 1979, but only recently did it get into the child care business. And we're thankful that it did.
VMV is the brainchild of a research-oriented, well-published dermatologist-dermatopathologist (in layman's terms, that's someone who studies skin disease at a microscopic level). VMV created its line of Mom & Baby products when many of its employees became first-time parents (and grandparents) and were frustrated by the lack of truly hypoallergenic products available for
children. With love and attention to the special needs of a child's sensitive skin, VMV set out to raise its own bar, creating its safest, most hypoallergenic line of products yet: they are the first to
be rated VH-65, meaning they are free of all 65 known allergens.
VMV's Grandma Minnie's Kid Gloves Monolaurin Hand Sanitizer is intended for use on parents' hands and on baby's hands, feet and belongings. It provides instant, moisturizing, antibacterial disinfecting power. Kid Gloves Hand Sanitizer contains monolaurin, a mild yet powerful coconut-derived antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal (protozoa are unicellular microorganisms) that is clinically proven to be as effective at killing micro-organisms as 70% isopropyl alcohol. But unlike primarily alcohol-based sanitizers, VMV's formula won't dry out skin. In fact, it moisturizes while it works and the inclusion of green tea simultaneously provides reparative, antioxidant benefits. It can also be used to disinfect wounds. (Cool!) Grandma Minnie's Kid Gloves Monolaurin Hand Sanitizer is gentle yet effective enough for all skin types and for children (and their parents) aged 0 and up. Not only is it VH-65, but it's also non-comedogenic so it won't clog pores and 100% free of all fragrances, preservatives, parabens and phthalates.
VMV patch tests both every product it makes and every single ingredient that goes into its products. It conducts evidence-based clinical studies, both in vitro (in its own and independent laboratories) and in vivo (using voluntary human subjects with relevant skin disorders in actual use conditions: the gold standard, which is not easy to do and not very common). Of course, VMV never tests its products on animals.
You will pay a little more for VMV Hypoallergenics, but you'll get your money's worth in terms of both quality and quantity (the products are quite large and contain lots of goodness). Plus, VMV's packaging and bottles are beautiful and elegant, making them a thoughtful gift.
