Sanitiser Meets Skincare: Say Goodbye to Sticky, Irritated Skin

If you’re a skincare obsessive or a germ freak, you’ve probably noticed regular sanitisers leave your skin tight, flaky or cracked. That’s because most “effective” sanitisers use ethanol or isopropanol that intensely dries and damages your skin barrier—leading to irritation, dermatitis and discomfort.

😣 The Problem: Sanitiser vs Your Skin

Alcohol-based sanitisers (typically 60–80% ethanol) do kill germs, but they also strip natural oils, disrupting your skin’s barrier and increasing transepidermal water loss. Studies found that 70% of frequent users experience redness, itching or even cracking—especially healthcare workers using sanitiser 10+ times daily. That’s neither healthy nor sustainable.

🌱 The Smart Fix: Moisturising Sanitiser with Palm‑Sap Ethanol

We’ve taken a clever, science-backed approach: delivering full germ‑killing strength and skin nourishment. Our formula uses ≥60% ethanol—the gold standard for sanitiser efficacy. But here’s what really sets us apart: our ethanol is the world’s first drawn sustainably from palm‑tree sap—harvested without harming the trees and supporting West African communities in sustainable carbon sequestration and biodiversity protection.

To protect your skin, we include moisturisers at just the right level—0.5–0.7% glycerol—shown to significantly reduce drying and irritation without weakening antimicrobial power.

So while we definitely sanitise—even to EN1276 & WHO standards—every application leaves your hands feeling soft, nourished, and healthy. That’s sanitisation and skincare in one.

🌴 Why Palmtree Hygiene Stands Out

Our foaming hand sanitiser ticks every box:

• World-first ethanol derived from palm tree sap—truly kind to planet. No wild palm oil, no deforestation. Sap regenerates fast, helping sequester carbon and support biodiversity. We empower West African communities through ethical sourcing.

• Kind to skin: our UK-developed formulation uses fewer, safer ingredients. Palm sap naturally contains vitamins, proteins and amino acids to soothe and nourish. No harsh chemicals, dermatologically tested.

• High-potency alcohol: ≥ 60% ethanol with isopropyl alcohol mix, WHO-compliant and EN1276 tested—scientifically proven to deactivate viruses and bacteria .

  
  

• Sensory delight: silky, non-sticky feel. Choose Coconut fragrance or Fragrance-Free for ultra-sensitive hands.

  
  

📊 The Proof in Data & Science

A clinical trial showed sanitiser gels with higher glycerin kept skin hydrated, while plain ethanol worsened dryness . And our soap-free, surfactant‑gentle formula keeps hands soft and nourished even after repeated use.

✅ Final Takeaway

Ordinary sanitisers might be effective, but they’re often damaging and harsh. At Palmtree Hygiene, we’ve packed our formula with moisturising actives and innovative palm-sap ethanol to ensure your hands stay protected, soft and nourished—all while being eco‑aware.
