🌴 How to Sanitise Without Cracking Your Hands

We all know sanitising keeps us safe—but cracked, dry hands? Not so fun.
Frequent handwashing and alcohol‑only sanitisers strip natural oils, weaken the skin barrier and can even lead to dermatitis or tiny fissures that let germs in 25–32% of users report cracked skin! Instead of endless irritation, here’s a better approach: use a natural, moisturising sanitiser with minimal ingredients. Keep it clean and simple.
🔬 What Science Says
60–95% alcohol content (ethanol or isopropyl) is essential for killing 99.99% of germs.
Natural ethanol from palm-tree sap serves as a sustainable alcohol source, maintaining high efficacy while being eco-friendly and moisturising.
Surfactants aid in spreading the sanitiser evenly and breaking down oils and dirt, ensuring thorough cleansing.
Palmtree Hygiene's formula combines these ingredients to provide effective sanitisation while being gentle on the skin.
🧴 Smart Routine for Happy Hands
Wash sensibly- Use lukewarm water—not hot—and mild, moisturising soap. Hot water is the enemy of soft hands.
Sanitise with care- Use ~1 mL of a natural, moisturising sanitiser; rub for 20–30 seconds until dry—it kills 99.99 % of germs Palmtree Hygiene.
Moisturise damp hands- Immediately after sanitising, apply a rich balm—locking in hydration is key.
Overnight rescue- Slather on thick balm, wear nitrile gloves (not cotton!) and let your hands repair while you catch up on Netflix.
🌱 Why Simplicity Wins
Fewer ingredients = lower risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
Natural emollients (palm sap) moisturise without heaviness or nasties.
👇 A Few Sentences About Our Sanitiser: Palmtree Hygiene
KIND TO PLANET: Our ethanol base is the first in the world derived from sustainably harvested palm‑tree sap in West Africa. No palm oil, no tree damage, and sap regenerates quickly—helping carbon sequestration, biodiversity and local communities.

✅ Final Takeaway
To stay germ‑free and soft:
Choose a natural sanitiser with 60–95 % alcohol plus moisturisers (like glycerol, aloe, palm sap).
Use lukewarm water, pat dry, moisturise while damp.
Treat hands overnight with rich balm.
