An Australian firm has developed an alcohol-free disinfectant that uses native plant extracts, which it claims can help kill the COVID-19 virus within 90 seconds without damaging even the most sensitive skin.
ViroCLEAR was developed by BioInnovate chairperson Ross Macdougald, who is also the founder of Australian cosmeceutical skin care brand, Biologi.
According to the firm, the formula is a ‘world’s first’. It is a non-toxic, non-irritant and alcohol-free formula that kills germs, bacteria and COVID-19 in 90 seconds – seven times faster than other products on the market.
“ViroCLEAR has been laboratory-proven to kill COVID-19 within 90 seconds of surface contact. Many other surface spray disinfectants may take up to 10 minutes or longer to kill COVID-19 and some have not been proven to kill COVID-19 at all,” said Macdougald.
