gel instant hand sanitisers have emollients. Do these work as well as EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser in keeping the skin clean and soft?
When an alcohol sanitiser evaporates, it leaves behind the non-evaporable parts of the formula. Repeated use of alcohol based hand sanitisers leaves the skin dry and actually more susceptible to infiltration by disease-causing microorganisms. Some manufacturers of alcohol sanitisers have added emollients to these preparations to try and cut down on the drying effect of the alcohol. However, these emollients, when over-used, remain on the skin and become sticky after the alcohol portion of the product has evaporated. This leftover sticky emollient is unpleasant to feel, and can be transferred to food. Furthermore, because it is sticky, it can act as a “germ magnet” and actually pick up germs from surrounding surfaces. A better solution for disinfecting is the BASE Technology antimicrobial system found in EcoHydra’s Antimicrobial Instant Hand Sanitiser that leaves the skin clean and soft with repeated use.
