🌿 Allergy Season Is Here: Why Sanitising Helps More Than You Think

Spring brings sunshine, blossoms, and longer days — but it also brings pollen, pet dander, and a rise in seasonal allergies that can leave many feeling miserable. While most people prepare with hay fever tablets and tissues, many overlook one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce allergic reactions: keeping your hands clean.
At Palmtree Hygiene, we believe that good hygiene should be effective, gentle on skin, and kind to the planet. That’s why our hand sanitiser is more than just a germ-fighter — it’s a skin-loving, sustainable solution for spring and beyond.
✋ 1. Hands Spread More Than Germs
Our hands are constantly in contact with surfaces that harbour pollen, dust, and other common allergy triggers. Every time you rub your eyes or touch your face, you're giving allergens a direct route to sensitive areas, worsening symptoms like sneezing or itching.
Using hand sanitiser regularly helps remove these irritants, reducing your exposure and offering relief during allergy season. If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are allergy-related, the NHS has helpful guidance on hay fever, including symptoms and treatments.
🧴 2. On-the-Go Protection
Whether you’re out enjoying outdoor activities like picnics, gardening, or spring walks, access to soap and water isn’t always possible. That’s where our portable, alcohol-based sanitiser comes in.
Palmtree Hygiene uses a world-first ethanol, sustainably derived from the sap of palm trees — not palm oil or petrochemicals. This unique method is eco-friendly, doesn’t harm trees, and supports local communities in West Africa through ethical sourcing partnerships.
😷 3. Spring Allergies + Germs = Double Trouble
While you might be focusing on allergies, it’s worth remembering that cold and flu viruses also thrive in spring. When your immune system is already under pressure, you're more susceptible to infections.
Our sanitiser is WHO-compliant, tested to EN1276 standards, and proven to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and deactivate viruses — helping you stay healthy and confident all season long.
To stay ahead of allergy flare-ups, it’s worth checking the daily Met Office pollen forecast so you know when to be extra cautious.
🌱 4. Kind to Skin, Safe for Everyone
Developed by scientists in the UK, Palmtree Hygiene sanitiser contains fewer harmful ingredients than many market-leading brands. Enriched with vitamins, amino acids, and natural nutrients found in palm sap, it nourishes the skin instead of drying it out.
Choose from Coconut or Fragrance-Free — perfect for sensitive skin and everyday use.
