Vicksburg family making all natural hand sanitizer

With big-name hand sanitizers disappearing from the shelves of groceries and pharmacies faster than workers can restock, one Vicksburg family decided to make their own.

Corey and Joycelyn Nettle along with their three children, Cierra, 13, Caiya, 11, and Corey Jr., 7, have created C3 Natural Germ Killer and Moisturizer.

“With everything going on with the Coronavirus, we wanted to try something new with all natural products that also had antibacterial products in it,” Joycelyn said.

The ingredients in C3 have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties.

“So many products on the market have a lot of processed and artificial ingredients,” Joycelyn said, “and we wanted to use natural products because it’s healthier. Our grandparents used all natural products for everything years ago, and we know it works.”

C3 Natural Germ Killer is 91% alcohol and includes aloe vera, natural almond oil and and other essential oils for moisturizing.

“It’s a hand sanitizer that cleans our hands and makes them feel like lotion,” 11-year-old Caiya said.

The Nettle’s have coined the slogan, ‘Germ Killin’ that Leaves a Smooth Feelin’’’ for their sanitizer.

The family introduced their all natural product to the public last week and has already had a high number of responses.

“We started out just making it for our family. Then we saw people were asking for it,” Joycelyn said.

In one day, the family sold more than ten 1.69-ounce bottles of the natural product.

“We just have to get used to the high demand,” Joycelyn said.
