Kit Corner – Germaphobe
For Kit Corner on Episode 19, we spoke with Professional Hairstylist Terrie Velazquez Owen about her versatile sanitizer for most surfaces and tools. Made with 80% Isopropyl alcohol ,hydrogen peroxide, glycerine, purified water and a special anti bacterial and anti microbial blend of essential oils. Germaphobe was born in the middle of a pandemic, Terrie is a mom, activist and passionate about our fragile environment.
Working as a Hollywood hairstylist for over 25 years Terrie had been using a combination of medical grade isopropyl alcohol and essential oils on her tools for as long as she can remember. Terrie would mix up small batches for herself to use on set and on her work station.
Germaphobe always uses glass bottles since Terrie can’t bear the thought of another plastic bottle heading to the ocean , but she wanted to make something useful and beautiful for your tabletop beauty station. Please reuse the glass bottle, even if you don’t refill from Germaphobe!
