How to Choose Harmless Hand Wash? Secrets to Developing Good Hand Hygiene Habits!

How to Choose Harmless Hand Wash? 

Maintaining good hand hygiene habits is very important. On average, each person needs to use hand wash 5-8 times a day to clean their hands. Frequent contact with hand wash, cleaning agents, and disinfectants can easily irritate the skin, causing the hands to become dry and itchy.

How to choose a harmless hand wash:

  1. Check the ingredients of the hand wash:
    Avoid allergens or irritating ingredients like alcohol, fragrances, and dyes. For sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free, dye-free, and low-allergen products.

  2. Antibacterial properties:
    If you care about the antibacterial effect of the hand wash, you can choose one with antibacterial ingredients like thyme oil or lavender oil. However, note that regular hand wash is sufficient for daily use. Excessive use of antibacterial products may damage the skin's natural barrier and promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

  3. Moisturizing properties:
    Dry skin after washing hands is a common issue. Choose hand wash with moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and aloe vera to help maintain skin hydration.

  4. pH value:
    The natural pH of skin is around 5.5. Choosing a hand wash with a pH close to the skin's natural pH can reduce skin irritation.

  5. Environmental factors:
    If you are concerned about the environment, choose hand wash with eco-friendly packaging and without harmful chemicals.

Finally, you can select scented hand wash based on personal preference, but if you have sensitive skin, fragrance-free or natural fragrance products are recommended.

 

Hand wash with preservatives and antibacterial agents may cause skin allergies!

Many hand wash products in the market claim to have disinfecting, anti-bacterial, or even germicidal functions, which are popular with consumers. However, according to consumer reports, products containing preservatives like MIT and CMIT can cause skin irritation and itchiness. Some hand wash samples were also found to contain free formaldehyde and the antibacterial agent PCMX, which may cause allergic reactions in some users.
