Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

Safety Data Sheets ensure you’re using the product correctly and are aware of all precautionary measures to keep you safe. Here are some highlights and other considerations you should take into account when selecting the ideal disinfectant for your spa or salon.

1. EPA REGISTRATION: All disinfectants must be EPA registered, and clearly noted on the label.
   Prevention Disinfectants are EPA registered.
2. EXPIRATION DATE: Disinfectants will lose their efficacy over time so they should be disposed of if the expiry date has passed.
   Prevention Disinfectants have long 3 year expiry dates.
3. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE): Many Disinfectants will require PPE during their use—be sure you’re aware of these requirements and adhering to those practices to reduce the risk of exposure to harsh chemicals.
   Prevention Disinfectants do not require the use of PPE.
4. CONTACT TIME: Disinfectants do not kill germs immediately and have different contact times ranging anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes. They also don’t kill ALL germs at the same rate. Note the contact time of the disinfectants you’re using and adhere to them to achieve germ-kill efficacy.
   Prevention Disinfectants have a 1 minute contact time to kill viruses, bacteria and fungi.
5. CLIENT CONFIDENCE: Having disinfectants out in the open at all your workstations, treatment areas and reception will let your clients know you’re running a clean and germ-free facility. Be sure to use a professional disinfectant made for spas and salons that communicates your commitment to infection prevention. 
   Prevention Disinfectants were designed specifically for beauty professionals to be the fastest, safest and easiest way to manage germs in your facility.
6. THE ENVIRONMENT: Today, spas and salons are increasingly sourcing eco-friendlier products. When it comes to infection prevention, there are alternatives to legacy harsh chemicals that do not come with the same negative side effects. Be aware of any special disposal requirements or impact your disinfectant may have on the environment.
   Prevention Disinfectants are non-irritating to eyes and skin, and are biodegradable—the active ingredient breaks down into water and oxygen. Prevention Wipes also come with a refill option that reduces the use of plastic by 90%.
