You can now purchase Magic Sprinkles, Cherry Press' fabulously fragrant Mediterranean citrus hand sanitizer from me and at the Bennington Bookstore and on the College Bookstore's website.

You use a lot of hand sanitizer working on a college campus during a pandemic.  Tired of horrible-smelling sprays and gels, I set out to create a pleasantly-scented, portable disinfectant.

I was inspired by the redolence of cold-pressed lemon oil, an active ingredient in Lemon Plate Cleaner (LPC).  LPC is a non-toxic replacement for lithographic Finisher Preserver Cleaner that I developed here, at my workshop Cherry Press.

Based loosely upon traditional Turkish kolonya,  Magic Sprinkles is an uplifting blend of essential oils, including lemon, bergamot and rose - known to relieve anxiety and stress, deter exhaustion, improve cognitive function, raise endorphins, heal skin and fight bacteria.  

I consulted with my two young nieces on a name for the new product:  The five-year old suggested "Magic Sprinkles" and the nine-year-old-going-on-nineteen quipped, "call it Hand Sanitizer" - and thus, Magic Sprinkles Hand Sanitizer was created.

Magic Sprinkles is free of synthetic fragrances, benzene, paragons, phthalates and sulfites and contains 85% ethanol.  It is packaged in 2 oz./59 ml recyclable, BPA-free, PET plastic spray bottles.  Contact me for refills!
