What’s available today in the hand cleaner category?
 Industrial hand cleaning products are
chemically based and pungent.
 They strip the hands leaving them feeling dry,
rough or irritated.
 They replace the odour of dirt and grime with
the odour of chemicals, which they then try to
camouflage with fragrances.
 They look and feel like chemical hazards and
are generally eco-unfriendly.
ZEOSOFT – The soft soaps that work hard.

 ZEOSOFT hand cleaners efficiently
absorb dirt, grime, odours and toxins,
in an entirely natural way.

 ZEOSOFT hand cleaners use only
natural active ingredients and leave
the skin feeling refreshed.
 Remove stubborn dirt, grime, oil,
grease, and other hand soiling,

oils and grease, and, stray toxins.

Strong consumer mega-trends
underpin demand ahead (1)
Global consumer trends are driving change by leading producers of industrial
cleaning chemicals: towards “good for me, good for the environment”.
Natural Ingredients
an indisputable mega-trend in
personal care products
“Fueled by consumer concern about the long-term impact of
chemicals in products they use every day, brands positioned
as “natural” and “organic” are in high demand and comprise
one of the fastest growing segments of the personal care
products industry.” *
“Growth for the natural products segment outpaces the
general personal care market by a landslide in 2007. The
general U.S. market grew by 3% in sharp contrast to the
naturals’ market growth of 13%” *
“Europe continues to be a robust market for natural personal
care products, posting a 15% gain in 2008 on top of a $3
billion sales base.” *

New Zealand Testimonials
“Several weeks ago Kingdom Decorators were invited to trial a new hand cleanser, with the usual high performance promises.
On this occasion we were pleasantly surprised by the performance of Zeosoft for all paint types and general grime from tools.
Zeosoft very quickly became the preferred hand cleaning product for all 6 of our staff, and completely eliminated the use of other solvent-based
cleaners more commonly used in the paint industry. We highly recommend Zeosoft and hope to see it in the industry more readily.”
Ross Kingdom – Owner, Kingdom Decorators
“The paste removed anything and everything I need to remove from my hands, including strong and active glues used to bond various
materials. My only comment would be that the paste dried my hands out a little, but in saying that I use chemicals as part of my glue production
process and they dry my hands out anyway. The gel is a good product, removed ink and dyes from my hands which come from the paper and
cardboard we grind up and use to make various other materials; the gel left my hands clean and feeling good after cleaning.”
Tom Hodgson – Owner, Hi-Tech Engineering
“We traditionally used Stoko but trialled Zeosoft as it was totally natural yet could still get our hands clean. The team loved it – removed all the
resins and site grime. So much so they have now seconded the remaining trial samples for themselves.”
Brett Parekura – Owner, NZ Stone
“Zeosoft worked great – got everything off my hands, even wood sap and fencing wire residue – first time anything has been able to do this.”
Mike Connolly – Farmer
“Around our property we get dirty and smelly hands from everything from chicken manure to wood sap and we found Zeosoft cleaned up the lot
– and its totally natural which is important to us.”
Richard Milne and Karen Hughes – Owners, Waireka Lodge
“Overall, I liked the paste and liquid products best for removing dirt and nasty smells from my hands. Liked the smell of the bar soap and used it
as a shower soap which worked well. Felt really clean!”
Grant Scrimegour – Fisherman
“I used the paste and gel while trout fishing. Found both to do the job very well in removing fish gut smells and liked the idea of using a natural
product in a tube that didn’t affect the rivers and streams. Also used both products to clean paint and metal marking from fabricating off my
hands and cloths, worked great for both jobs”
Mark Hyett – Fisherman
UK Testimonials
Test marketing of beta versions of the bar in the UK
was done in 2007 under the ZEOSOAP brand name
by the distributor, Abeeco. The bar soap was
awarded 4 Gold Stars by Amateur Gardening
magazine, and 4 Gold Stars by Motor Boat and
Yachting magazine, and has been featured in the
Daily Mail as ‘One of the top 5 Soaps’ in the UK.
Early testimonials for the bar soap are shown on the
trial brand website
http://zeosoap.com/endorsements.php
There has been considerable product development
since the beta versions. Below are some testimonials
about new formulations of paste, gel and bar from UK
trials in 2009 under the Zeosoap brand. New
formulations will be launched as ZEOSOFT.
“I am very impressed with this Zeosoap bar. I am a garden allotment holder and keep chickens as well, and feel confident that my hands are
clean and hygienic after using your soap. (I do not suffer any more from ‘itching’ when using your soap, so even better!).…I can recommend
your Zeosoap to my friends.”
J.Briggs – Colchester, Essex (address supplied)
“It works very well, and when used without water it cleared their hands and the paste and dirt almost falls off the hands”.
The owner of TOF – a farmer with over 6,000 acres of farmland in Northamptonshire
“Jo had a family into the Tearooms who were cycling, and the chain had come off the little boy’s bike so he and his dad’s hands were covered in
black grease. They tried ordinary soap which did nothing, I fetched a pot of paste and it removed all the black dried grease leaving their hands
clean and smooth. The dad said as soon as we had any for sale, then he would come and buy it.”

“One of the warehouse workers took a bar home for his son who has skin problems, the son liked it and kept it in his bedroom so that nobody
else could use it”
