Stay safe and take care of your hands thanks to these sustainable hand sanitisers.
There is no escape; since March, hand sanitisers have taken the primary spot in our ‘beauty routine’. Unfortunately, the ingredients contained in most of them and the frequency we have to apply it every day means that our hands will pay a high price.
With the colder season approaching, it’s essential to make sure you take care of your hands. We can’t avoid using hand sanitisers when we leave the house, but we can choose one that is less harmful to our skin and the planet.
We don’t need pure alcohol to disinfect our hands properly; the World Health Organisations specifies that hand sanitisers need to contain a minimum of 60% alcohol to be effective.
Many brands have been developing new sustainable hand sanitisers that are not harsh on your skin but are just as effective as standard hand sanitisers. Some of them have even switched plastic bottles for reusable glass bottles to reduce single-use plastic.
