Unfortunately, not every hand sanitising product currently on the market has been tested to meet necessary quality standards. In some cases these products are ineffective, giving users a false sense of protection from germs, and some can even cause pain or discomfort with use. To help ensure skin health and hygiene, here are some tips to help you find the perfect product.
Health and safety of the user comes first
Not all hand disinfectants are made equal. Some smell unpleasant, some leave a sticky film on the skin, and some lack refatting and moisturising ingredients that help to keep skin healthy. Some sanitisers do not have an alcohol concentration of between 60% and 80% (as recommended by the World Health Organization). That means they may not be effective against a great variety of germs. Using products such as these may be damaging to your skin or give a false sense of security about your hygiene. Make sure that any hand sanitiser you choose is biocidal and has high antimicrobial efficacy.
We believe that the health and safety of consumers is the utmost priority. PURELL® Advanced Hygienic Hand Rub kills 99.99% of most common germs that may be harmful and is specially formulated with moisturisers to help maintain skin health.
Strict quality tests during production
As part of our commitment to health and safety, our products also include a denaturant to prevent improper use and dissuade users from ingesting them. These agents make the alcohol in our products unsuitable for human consumption and help prevent hand disinfectants from being taken as stimulants.
As a science-based company, we are committed to our mission to save and improve lives through wellbeing solutions. To ensure that our hand sanitisers always meet our high standards for quality we run thorough tests on the ingredients used and on the finished products themselves.
