How Antimicrobial Foaming Hand Sanitizer Addresses Problems with Standard Hand Disinfection

When Covid-19 became a global menace at the beginning of 2020, hand sanitizer purchases went up significantly. Currently, hand sanitizers revenue has grown to over $5,343 million in 2020 from a mere $1,275 million in 2012 with an expected annual growth of 6.2 per cent up to 2025.

Before Coronavirus made hand sanitization a critical part of human life and public health today, frequent use of hand sanitizers was found in 2010 to lessen the huge loss of work days, university and school days annually due to sickness while boosting productivity at work, reducing absenteeism and related economic impact while protecting people from infectious gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases.  

In essence, hand disinfection was found to reduce illness episodes and boost recuperation from complications-an effective and cost efficient daily hygiene exercise with great results. 

Part of our pandemic days

While lockdowns, limit of mobility and curfews have changed the way we live as governments try to deal with the raging Covid-19 pandemic, our lives still demand diverse resources as was the case before December 2019. From children to adults, people have to go to work, school and other diverse places as duty demands.

As we do all these in a pandemic we come into contact with dirty and vermin-saturated surfaces all day. Hand sanitizers have thus become a critical part of hand hygiene as we try to decontaminate our hands from Covid-19 and to an extent, lots of other microbes.

If you haven’t contemplated use of COV-RID’s antimicrobial foaming hand sanitizer, you probably should. Throughout, people have had lots of problems with standard hand sanitizers, mostly alcohol based. Like many out there, chances are the typical hand sanitizer in your possession:

• Inflames, irritates or dries your skin: Due to heavy alcohol content, most sanitizers are leaving the skin dry, flared up and irritated with dermatitis and eczema among other skin conditions.

• Results in a burning olfactory: With every use most hand sanitizers have a strong smell and burning sensation.

• Leads to heavy chemical exposure: If there’s something we all know it’s that exposure to too many chemicals distresses our health. Sanitizers could have 15-20 chemicals at any given moment harmful to the skin. Expert advice recommends natural ingredients to protect ourselves and avoid too many chemicals. 

Tested, safe hand hygiene

With the desire to have as many hand sanitizers in public use as possible so many of them haven’t been tested. Chances are most are using untested, unsafe hand sanitizers harmful to their skin and overall health.

However, a unique foaming hand sanitiser such as COV-RID’s does a stellar job of removing and destroying viruses, bacteria and germs from hands even without heavy alcoholic content and chemicals.

Actually COV-RID high level disinfectant sanitiser is a culmination of comprehensive tests and analysis to guarantee effectiveness against diverse viruses and microbes out there. 

Quality natural ingredients

If there’s something that keeps hands soft, safe, virus-free and soft it has to be quality natural ingredients in a unique sanitiser such as COV-RID antimicrobial foam hand sanitiser. The natural properties leave the skin smooth, supple and safe. It doesn’t have chlorine, alcohol or other additives with terrible odours. 

Why alcohol isn’t always the best active ingredient

Most of the hand disinfectants out there are alcohol based. Alcohol being the most active ingredient in the mix has raised a number of concerns among users such as:

• Evaporates before doing a thorough job: Since alcohol evaporates quite fast it disappears before it has completely destroyed the microbes on the skin, including common hand and skin viruses such as Norovirus. However, a natural ingredient hand sanitiser such as COV-RID’s easily spreads on the hands and dissipates only when all germs have been destroyed.

• Alcoholic vapour works against lungs: The heavy alcoholic content in hand sanitisers releases a strong vapour with every use. The alcoholic vapour weakens the lungs’ protective mucous layer that prevents Coronaviruses from entry. In the process, getting infected becomes almost certain.

• Stings damaged skin: Due to different reasons such as nature of work or skin problems many have the skin on their hands irritated, grazed, cut, damaged or cracked. Alcohol stings and worsens such a skin and alcohol hand sanitisers can be painful to use. Natural ingredients in sanitisers, such as COV-RID’s, soothes the skin and superb for flared, damaged, cracked or wounded sensitive skin.

Of course not everyone is happy using alcohol-based hand disinfectants due to its harmful nature to certain types of animals as well as religious dictates of some religions.

Clearly, COV-RID antimicrobial foaming hand sanitiser addresses all these problems evident in most hand disinfectants out there.
