ST. CROIX — A few things are hard to find these days as the coronavirus has spread globally: toilet paper and hand sanitizer are among the most rare. And while you may be out of luck in finding toilet paper, a local distiller and a natural body care company seek to solve the hand sanitizer shortage problem in the territory.
Enter Mutiny Vodka — the distiller located in Sion Farm in the former Island Dairies building, which opened to the public last year — and Cultured Naturals, owned by Ramone Reid. The two companies have partnered to create products based from Mutiny Vodka's breadfruit formula that includes 70 percent alcohol volume. The companies said the products will help prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
"We have put it to use with extra procedures by sanitizing all surfaces, doorknobs, etc... at all our facilities as a further measure to be proactive for our guests, employees, and our community," Mutiny Vodka said, speaking of the sanitizer which it has used in-house.
The products will be available in about two weeks, said Ms. Reid. They will include gel and liquid hand sanitizers, a multi-surface cleaner and actual soap to wash hands —all of which are being produced in partnership with Mutiny Vodka.
Currently being sold by Cultured Naturals, however, is a pocket--sized foaming hand wash. It's olive oil-based and very moisturizing on the hands, according to Ms. Reid. It also has essential oils, is 100 percent vegan, and the alcohol is from Mutiny Vodka.
