Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone seeking effective hand hygiene on the go. The SkinChemists Hand Sanitiser offers powerful 99.9% bacteria-killing action with a gentle, alcohol-based formula. While highly effective, users should be aware it's a water-based formula, meaning it doesn't leave a sticky residue, but may not be suitable for extremely dry environments where a more occlusive barrier is needed. Key features include its high alcohol content for disinfection, dermatological approval for all skin types, and the inclusion of glycerine for moisture retention.

Troubleshooting
Sanitiser does not dispense.
Ensure the cap is properly secured. If the bottle has a pump mechanism, check that it is unlocked or primed correctly.
Skin feels dry after use.
While the sanitiser contains glycerine, very frequent use or individual skin sensitivity may lead to dryness. Ensure you are using the correct amount and allow it to dry fully. Consider alternating with a moisturising hand cream.
Product has a strong alcohol smell.
This is normal due to the high alcohol content, which is essential for its effectiveness. The smell dissipates quickly as the product dries.
