SkinHealth: Anti-Bacterial Hand Wash – Green Tea + Cucumber (500ml)

Alcohol-Free Formula
Most hand sanitisers contain a high percentage of alcohol to disinfect and kill germs, generally over 62%. Constant use of such products tends to dry out the skin. Our alcohol free products are safe to use on any surface as well as your body. They are non-flammable and non-poisonous making skin health safe for the whole family.

Is Benzalkonium Chloride Safe?
As with all biocidal chemicals, Benzalkonium Chloride should be used with caution due to its potential to add to antibiotic resistance when used indiscriminately and its potential to trigger contact dermatitis in susceptible people when used excessively. That said, there has been much research into how this active can be formulated for maximum efficacy with minimum risk. In terms of sanitisation, effective formulations can be made using less than 0.2% of this on a per-actives basis. When formulated into a typical sanitiser spray or foam the resulting product often presents a low overall toxicity than a formula containing 70% alcohol.
