I’m a Mom, Activist and LA based film and TV hairstylist,passionate about our fragile environment.

I created Germaphobe by Sana.Sana Apothecary at the start of the 2020 pandemic isolation.

The name of my little apothecary is inspired by a Spanish saying

“Sana Sana Colita de Rana, si no sana hoy, Sanara’ Mañana.

The translation is silly yet comforting .

“Heal,Heal little frog’s tail, If you don’t heal today, you will heal tomorrow.”

Latin parents sing this to children ,along with some hugs ,when they get hurt to console and make the hurt go away,

I love this as a way to honor my Mexican heritage. I’m Mexican born and Los Angeles raised.

While working as a Hollywood hairstylist on set for over 25 years, Ive used a combination of medical grade alcohol and essential oils on my beauty tools,combs, brushse, hands and table top station for years.

***added bonus: Germaphobe makes my space smell so good and keep’s the bad juju away.

I mix up small batches in my Pasadena California studio,each batch made to order.

I like refillable glass bottles. I want to make something useful and beautiful for anything you want to keep sanitized.

Germaphobe is truly all purpose.

Aroma therapy along with sanitizing properties, can help the world heal a little bit…if not today for tomorrow.

I felt it was a good time to share it…I hope you like it. Give me a shout out on social media ,show me how you used it!

Please reuse the glass bottle, even if you don’t refill from Sana.Sana Apothecary.

Spread Love not Germs,

Terrie
