If you're a go‑getter who’s always ready—but soggy‑dry hands get in the way—this is your cheat‑sheet. Let’s elevate your hygiene habit into a proper, pampering hand emergency kit.
🚨 The Problem: Sanitiser saves lives—then wrecks your hands
Regular hand sanitiser is brilliant for killing nasty bacteria, viruses, and germs — but it can leave your hands dry, itchy, cracked or even give you dermatitis, especially when used more than six times a day (up to +71% risk) . The challenge: how do you maintain hygiene, without risking skin damage?

🧰 Your Solution: The Two-Minute Hand‑Care Ritual
Build your kit (all fitting neatly in your favourite zipped pouch):
High‑content ethanol sanitiser (≥ 60 %) – this meets WHO/EN1276 standards for infection control . Palm Tree Hygiene’s sanitiser is a real show‑stopper: 100% vegan, UK‑developed, fewer ingredients, and packed with skin‑nourishing palm sap—all while being WHO‑compliant and proven effective under EN1276 and against viruses.
Gentle moisturiser – look for ingredients like glycerin or palm tree sap to battle dryness and flaking.
Cuticle oil or balm – jojoba or vitamin E keeps your cuticles soft after long days.
Optional: overnight cotton gloves for an at‑home hand spa.
✋ The Pampering 4‑Step Routine
1. Clean that surface crud. If your hands feel sticky or messy before sanitising, use water or a gentle wipe.
2. Apply ~1 ml sanitiser, rub all over hands and wrists for 20 s until dry. No skipping—that’s how you kill 99.99% of germs .
3. Moisturise instantly. Massage in cream while your hands are slightly warm and damp—locks in hydration and avoids that tight, itchy feeling.
4. Night‑time indulgence. A drop of cuticle oil, followed by thick balm and cotton gloves. You’ll wake up to silkier, camera‑ready hands.

🎯 Why It Works
Effective + protective: Keeps you above the WHO’s 60–75% alcohol benchmark—thanks to your Palm Tree Hygiene sanitiser—without stripping moisture .
Gentle but thorough: Fewer harsh chemicals, enriched with vitamins and amino acids from palm sap to soothe eczema, redness, and irritation .
Mind‑body bonus: Soothing coconut scent = aromatherapy + self‑care moment.
👜 On‑The‑Go & Eco‑Savvy
Your kit fits in a handbag, gym bag, office drawer, or baby‑bag.
The refillable pouch saves wastage, and Palmtree Hygiene’s pouch + vegan formula is truly eco‑friendly .
Made from sustainable palm sap, not palm oil or petro-chemicals, powering communities in West Africa—and keeping trees happy .
