Stop Damaging Your Skin: Why You Need to Ditch Harsh Hand Sanitisers for a Gentler Alternative


Hand sanitisers have become an essential part of our daily hygiene routines. They’re convenient, easy to use, and effective at killing germs. However, many conventional hand sanitisers come with hidden dangers that can harm your skin and overall health. Let’s explore why traditional sanitisers might not be the best option and how a safer, more skin-friendly alternative can help.


The Dark Side of Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitisers


Most commercial hand sanitisers rely on alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) to kill germs. While alcohol is effective, it has significant drawbacks:


  • Skin Dryness and Irritation: Regular use of alcohol-based sanitisers can dry out your skin, stripping it of natural oils. This can lead to irritation, cracks, and painful dryness, especially for people with sensitive skin.


  • Toxic Chemicals: Many hand sanitisers contain harmful chemicals like triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, and parabens, which have been linked to skin allergies and long-term health risks such as hormone disruption.


  • Environmental Impact: Chemicals from hand sanitisers can wash down the drain and pollute water systems, affecting the environment and ecosystems.


  • Antimicrobial Resistance: Excessive use of certain sanitising agents can contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making it harder to fight infections over time.
