In nature, plants produce germ-killing essential oils to protect themselves from invading microbes. Benefect is a blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb Thyme. Thyme oil is the only active ingredient for disinfectants that is classified as a minimal risk active ingredient with no risk to humans or the environment.
Benefect Botanical Disinfectant is the world’s first government registered hospital disinfectant using the essential oils from plants that kill 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi (mold). To put it simply, Benefect is a "plant immune system" in a bottle.
