- Know your skin type and choose moisturising hand sanitisers for dry skin, non-greasy hand sanitisers for oily skin, and fragrance-free, low irritation hand sanitisers for sensitive skin.
- Concentrate on the cleansing chemicals in hand sanitizers – Select soap ingredients with strong cleansing properties, such as vegetable saponins and sodium fatty acids. Avoid using strong synthetic detergents.
- Check the product’s pH – hand sanitizers with a pH close to neutral are gentler on the skin. Typically, a range of 5.5-7 is desirable.
- Choose hand sanitizers that contain hand care chemicals such as alanine, glycolic acid, sodium pantothenate, and others that can assist to moisturize the skin while cleansing.
- To avoid contact allergies that might cause skin irritation on the hands, choose fragrance-free or naturally flavored hand sanitizers.
- Avoid using antibacterial or antiseptic hand sanitizers for an extended period of time since they can be quite irritating to the skin. Use only when absolutely necessary.
- Reasonable prices – Both high and cheap prices do not always indicate a good product.
- Choose a high-volume, reputable brand to ensure quality and safety.
