Jao is a mystical word inscribed on a 2000 year old charm believed to prevent and cure disease. The company was started by a father and daughter team in Pennsylvania, with their first product being a completely natural hand sanitizer, on the market since 1997--well before the hand sanitizer craze of late. Each of their products is made with the utmost of care and sensitivity, specially formulated without dyes, petroleum, or artificial fragrances.
