The Science

The Science Behind the ZYTREL XP® Anti-Bacterial Matrix

Developed at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, Tested by world famous Haskins Lab at New York’s Pace University

Zytrel XP® patented protective active matrix shield offers double protection by killing germs on contact and then helping to prevent new germs from penetrating the protective shield for up to 4 hours.

Zytrel XP® Anti‐Bacterial Matrix is as ingenious as it is powerful: 
Zinc salts from Zytrel XP® bind with irritants to form compounds which are too large to penetrate skin pores. Soluble zinc ions attach to skin cell surface preventing allergens from reaching skin cells.  This means that your skin is protected from irritation as well as germs!

Independent lab tests prove new ZYTREL XP® kills 99.99% of germs on contact and helps keep killing germs for up to 4 hours.

ZYTREL XP creates a film-like breathable matrix on the skin that operates like a bio-force field above your skin’s epidermal layer. The ZYTREL XP Anti-Bacterial Matrix immediately kills 99.99% of bacteria on contact in as little as 15 seconds.

During the next four-hour Active Defense Period, the Zytrel XP matrix traps and kills new bacteria in the active matrix.

Unlike traditional alcohol-based sanitizers and antibacterial hand cleansers (soaps), Zytrel XP promotes the natural regeneration of the skin’s own natural protective flora (healthy bacteria) below the matrix, thus providing a double protection against infection.
