About Us

SafeHands®, Inc. is a privately held company based in Boca Raton, Florida founded by Dr. Jay Reubens, a recognized authority and innovator in the area of hand hygiene. Dr. Reubens was responsible for the development and introduction of the first touch-free hand-washing system. SafeHands' proprietary, alcohol-free products address the compelling need for a skin-soothing instant hand sanitizer for the very young to the very old. They include mothers with children who need to safely sanitize their hands throughout the day, and health care and food-service personnel who are walking around with red, dry hands serving the public, just to name a few.

SafeHands' proprietary formulations represent years of research and testing. These tests, including those with human subjects, have appeared in peer-reviewed scientific journals and are the basis upon which SafeHands has established its industry wide relationships.

We are aggressively entering the industrial market on the strength of SafeHands' targeted message: the “Multiple Daily Use Instant Hand Sanitizer". An alcohol-free instant hand sanitizer resonates loudly in industries such as food-service and health care where the use of hand sanitizers are required throughout the workday, even though they often cause red, cracked and damaged hands. In addition, SafeHands has presented scientific data that shows that the frequency of use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers actually has an inverse relationship with germ kill and contamination.
