Product

HOW DOES ZOONO WORK?
Our water-based sanitisers add a long-lasting antibacterial protective layer to hands and surfaces. Once dry, Zoono resembles a layer of microscopic pins that attract, pierce and kill pathogens – the same principle as a pin popping a balloon. It is designed to help support routine hand washing and surface cleaning to provide enhanced protection in between.
WHAT ARE THE PRODUCT INGREDIENTS?
Our products are made from 99% deionised water, 1% active ingredient – Quaternary Ammonium Compound. Our products do not contain alcohol or triclosan.
DO I STILL NEED TO WASH MY HANDS?
Yes. Zoono should be used alongside regular hand washing and cleaning routines to help keep pathogens at bay for longer.
HOW DO I APPLY ZOONO AROUND THE HOME?
Zoono can be used on all surfaces in the home. Follow the instructions on the label – use Zoono after your regular cleaning routine on clean, dry surfaces and allow approx. 10 minutes for drying. For commercial / technical applications, industry specific written protocols are recommended and are provided as required. Zoono is designed to be used alongside regular cleaning habits to provide enhanced protection in between.
IS ZOONO 'TOXIC' OR CAN I USE IT AROUND MY CHILDREN?
Whilst all substances have a ‘toxicity’ level (even water), Zoono has a ‘toxicity rating’ similar to that of Vitamin C. So yes – Zoono can be used around people, pets and plants alike.
HOW DO I USE ZOONO HAND SANITISER?
Simply apply Zoono Hand Sanitiser liberally to the hands and gently rub until dry.
HOW MANY PUMPS OF ZOONO HAND SANITISER SHOULD I USE?
Directions for use: Apply 3ml of product to clean hands and cover all surfaces of the hands. Rub hands for 30 seconds, until dry. Apply product as required. We recommend ZOONO® is used in conjunction with routine hand hygiene procedures.
WILL ZOONO HAND SANITISER STAIN MY CLOTHES?
No. It forms an antibacterial barrier on the skin and will not stain clothing nor discolour skin.
WILL ZOONO HAND SANITISER WASH OR RUB OFF?
No. Zoono Hand Sanitiser does not rub off. Normal washing of the hands and drying with a towel, will not affect efficacy.
HOW WILL MY HANDS FEEL ONCE I APPLY ZOONO HAND SANITISER?
While most people don’t feel Zoono once it’s dry, some people reports their hands feeling silky and moisturised without leaving a visible film or coating.
SHOULD I APPLY HAND SANITISER MORE THAN ONCE PER DAY?
You don’t have to use Zoono Hand Sanitiser more than once a day however it is completely fine to apply more than once a day. Zoono Hand Sanitiser has been proven to remain active on the skin until natural exfoliation occurs and this usually takes 72 hours or so (varies due to factors like exercise, work environment etc). But within high risk environments (Health Care etc), some professionals prefer to use Zoono Hand Sanitiser more frequently.
WILL ZOONO HAND SANITISER DRY MY HANDS OR CAUSE CHAPPED SKIN?
No. Unlike other hand sanitisers that contain up to 70% alcohol (that remove natural oils and dry the skin), Zoono Hand Sanitiser is a mild, non-alcohol formulation. On application, Zoono Hand Sanitiser leaves hands soft and silky.
HAS ZOONO HAND SANITISER BEEN TESTED ON A VARIETY OF SKIN TYPES?
Yes. Zoono Hand Sanitiser has been dermatologically tested in Germany on a range of skin types (older people, young people, fair skinned and dark skinned people etc) – with zero reactions recorded.
ARE THERE TEST RESULTS FOR ANY ZOONO BRANDS?
Yes. Zoono has approx 150 Test Results on file from accredited laboratories around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, UK, Germany, USA, South Africa, Korea, China and Japan. These are provided as part of the Regulatory process for Approvals and Registrations globally.
IF I APPLY AN ALCOHOL-BASED SANITISER AFTER ZOONO, WILL IT EFFECT EFFECTIVENESS?
No. Once Zoono has bonded to the skin, it has been proven to remain effective until such time the skin naturally exfoliates. An application of alcohol in the meantime, will not affect Zoono efficacy.
DOES ZOONO KILL HARMFUL BACTERIA WHEN APPLIED TO HANDS AND SURFACES?
Yes. Scientific studies support the superior longevity benefits of Zoono products in the fight against threat of pathogens.
WHAT BACTERIA, VIRUSES & FUNGI DOES ZOONO KILLS?
It’s important that we conform with national regulatory authorities, therefore, we are unable to name specific pathogens. However, we can confirm that Zoono has successfully been tested against a wide range of pathogens in over 150 laboratory tests worldwide.
DOES ZOONO PROTECT AGAINST COVID-19?
Whilst we are unable to name the specific pathogens ZOONO kills, we can state that we have passed the EN14476 (Enveloped Viruses) in the UK.
In Australia, the TGA allows us to make COVID-19 claims on our surface product.
See ASX Announcement, 23rd March 2020

 

CAN I USE THE SURFACE SANITISER ON MY BABY TOYS?
Yes, you can use the Surface Sanitiser Spray to keep germs off toys. Make sure you clean the toys first then spray and let it completely dry before giving it back to them.
