WHY SAFEGUARD?

MICELLAR DEEP CLEANING

A micelle is a round cluster of cleanser molecules that have both water AND oil attracting properties. The micelles form bubbles that attach to oil to draw out dirt and help wash it away, resulting in an effective and gentle clean for all members of your family.

Safeguard liquid hand soap cleans skin to wash away bacteria, providing essential cleansing to care for your family and prevent the spread of bacteria.

SAFEGUARD YOUR FAMILY

Our mission is to provide products for you and your family and will leave your hands fresh and clean after every single wash. Safeguard your family. Wash away bacteria.
