Remember when hand sanitiser was just something you took along when traveling? Now, it's a must-have in our daily lives, found in bags, cars, desks, and even clipped to school backpacks. But while it helps keep germs away, have you noticed what it does to your hands?
These products are meant to protect, but they often dry out your skin and leave it feeling irritated. Many regular hand sanitisers rely on high concentrations of alcohol and synthetic additives that wash away your skin's natural oils, making your hands rough, tight, or even cracked.
That’s why more people are switching to natural hand sanitisers. When it comes to reliable Australian natural skincare, Natralus leads the way. Our hand sanitisers offer the protection you need without compromising your skin’s moisture, making them essential for any natural skincare routine.
The Problem with Conventional Sanitisers
While regular hand sanitisers can kill germs, they can also harm your skin. Most have high alcohol content (usually over 60%) to disinfect, which can really dry your skin out, especially with repeated use. Over time, this can strip away the skin's moisture barrier, leaving hands flaky, tight, and even with tiny cracks.
Plus, many mass-market options have synthetic fragrances, artificial colours, and preservatives that can irritate your skin, especially if it’s dry or sensitive. These ingredients don’t help your skin at all. They actually make things worse.
For people like healthcare workers, teachers, and parents who sanitise a lot, the effects can be even more noticeable. The result? Clean hands that feel anything but healthy. That’s why there’s a growing need for a gentle sanitiser for dry skin. One that prioritises both protection and skin care, without the harsh side effects of conventional options.
What Makes a Hand Sanitiser ‘Natural’?
With so many “natural” labels out there, it can be a bit confusing. So, what really makes natural hand sanitiser different from the rest?
It all starts with the ingredients — or more specifically, what’s not included. A true natural sanitiser avoids harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Instead, it uses plant-based alternatives like aloe vera, essential oils, and herbal extracts to keep your hands clean and comfy.
Think of it as sanitising while also caring for your skin. You still get good germ protection, but you're also moisturising your skin, helping your barrier, and steering clear of common irritants. It’s a win-win, especially for those of us wanting a natural skin care routine that goes beyond just our face.
When you choose trusted natural skin care lines, you’re looking out for your skin's long-term health. That’s the kind of reassurance we could all use a bit more of.
