Ranking the best hand sanitizers for 2022

Hygiene is a major issue in modern society, and the first thing to start with is keeping your hands clean. This procedure is relevant throughout the life of a person and is carried out repeatedly during the day.

There are a huge number of means for the destruction of harmful microbes from the surface of the hands, but each of them maintains cleanliness only for a short time, and it does not destroy pests as effectively as we would like. Antiseptic gels or as they are also called sanitizers in this matter are the most reliable means. Their composition allows up to 90% (on average) to cleanse the skin and keep it clean for a long time.

These funds are sold in various packages, bottles, have an individual consistency and composition, which affects the cost of the product as a whole. Attention is presented with an overview of the best sanitizers, which, according to buyers, deserve attention.

Product Basics - Selection Criteria

Sanitizer is an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. It is used both in everyday life and in the professional field of activity: medicine, beauty salons, for processing tools and skin.

We are talking about products that are customary to carry everywhere with you, wherever you are (pocket sanitizer).

Due to the fact that it is not always possible to use soap and water, a special hand sanitizer is used.

Note! According to experts, the most reliable way to get rid of bacteria and viruses on your hands is soap + water. If they are available to you at work, then the need to purchase disinfectants can be “omitted”.

In any institution, at every step, be it a shop, cafe, cinema, etc. there is a toilet where liquid soap is provided for use. Another thing, if you are relaxing in nature, then you can buy an antiseptic. It is convenient to wear and operate.

Composition and types of antiseptic

Looking for an effective and safe antiseptic, the first thing to study is the composition of the product. Because today they produce solutions based on:

1. Alcohol is an effective antiviral and antibacterial agent that is best suited for hand treatment.
2. Didecyldimethylammonium chloride - also effective against viruses and bacteria, but the degree of exposure to microbes is less than that of alcohol.
3. Povidone-iodine - with a similar effectiveness, it can cause itching and redness on the skin, there are contraindications for use.
4. Chlorhexidine - certainly has an antiviral and antibacterial effect, but for the purpose of treating hands from coronaviruses, they are of little use.
5. Hydrogen peroxide is not capable of killing pathogenic microorganisms, but such a composition can reduce their number.

The opinions of experts and representatives of Rospotrebnadzor agree that the most effective antiseptics are those where alcohol is the main active ingredient.

As for safety, alcohol compositions also meet this criterion, because the only unpleasant expectation is that the hands will dry out after treatment with such a product. However, this is not entirely true. Indeed, in addition to alcohol, the composition contains additional substances, among which there is glycerin. And it is glycerin that prevents the skin from drying out. Thus, after applying the antiseptic and its complete drying, the condition of the hands will be even better than after washing with hard water using soap.

 

Selection Tips - Which is the Best Sanitizer?

When buying a sanitizer, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• Age limit;
• Compound;
• Contraindications;
• Which firm is better;

Dangerous component of antiseptic

Often there are products of two different brands, with almost the same description, but a huge difference in price. Therefore, always read the instructions, weigh all the pros and cons so as not to make mistakes when choosing.

Having decided that among the ingredients of the product we need is alcohol and glycerin, we read the composition to the end. The task is to determine if triclosan is among the ingredients. This component is dangerous because it can accumulate in the body and cause health problems.

1. Isopropyl - at a concentration of at least 70%;
