Shyne Launches Kickstarter for Its Complete Hand Hygiene Program to Promote Healthier Habits at Home and Work

PORTLAND, Maine, April 30, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Clean hands have never mattered more. As a result, hand sanitizers are getting their deserved moment in the spotlight for their recognized power in helping stop the spread of COVID-19. They’ve even been cited by the World Health Organization and the CDC as one of the best tools available to stop the spread of germs and keep people healthier. Now, a new product called, Shyne, is taking hand sanitizing to the next level through its sleek touchless dispensers and monthly refills program. The company behind the product launched a Kickstarter this week to help bring it to market.

​Shyne is a complete hand hygiene program that ensures that businesses and homes have the right products in the right locations to ensure regular use. The touchless dispensers are industrial-chic and sturdy and come in wall-mount and counter-top styles that can be placed in germ hotspots. An automatic monthly delivery service for refills of its signature aloe-infused hand sanitizer is available and can be canceled at any time. The program is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur and inventor, Nick Blanton, who put his product design and development, and tech-savvy to work to make Shyne a reality.

“Throughout any given day, we use our hands to make the food we eat, hold our kids, and shake hands with colleagues – without a thought to all the bacteria-covered surfaces we have touched during a day. That is especially alarming when you consider that 80 percent of all infections are transmitted by hands,” explained Blanton. “It’s crucial to implement effective hand hygiene practices, and one way to do that is by placing our no-touch dispensers in readily visible places in high traffic areas in the home or workplace.”

​Shyne had already been in research and development for several months, but the pandemic sped up the production process to help meet the urgent need for hand sanitizing options. The company chose a global manufacturer that specializes in health and wellness products and personal care devices to handle production and ensure adherence to all quality and safety standards with eco-conscious packaging and plastic waste reduction top-of-mind. A percentage of all proceeds from sales of Shyne will be donated to the International Red Cross to support its humanitarian efforts worldwide.

“Our intelligent dispensers will help keep hands bacteria-free and moisturized. Best of all, our customers will never run out of sanitizer, as it will arrive at their door every month,” he added. “We are super excited about the launch of our Kickstarter as we really believe Shyne can make a difference in the health of our customers and help them to easily take a proactive role in keeping sicknesses away.”
