What are the active ingredients in this hand sanitiser that make it moisturising for my dry skin ? 

The formulation of this hand sanitiser closely respects the requirements of sensitive skin. First of all, the main moisturising base is glycerin. Glycerin is a traditional humectant that is very effective in terms of trapping moisture under the skin. It also has additional plant seed oils which helps to further strengthen the skin barrier.

Many hand sanitisers contain other stabilisers that enable it to maintain a non-sticky gel formula when applied on skin. However, these additional stabilisers can serve as irritants. It is not necessary because it is an isopropyl alcohol which is the main active component completely evaporates and this means that there should be no residue left.  The hand sanitiser formulated by our pharmacy leaves skin moisturised with natural plant seed oils after the isopropyl alcohol evaporates. This provides a moisturising humectant layer after the alcohol has evaporated.

The refills are sold in bulk in a recyclable syringe.

Should I use a spray or drip bottle for hand sanitisers?

Han sanitisers are commonly available in a click or a spray formula. Our  recommendation is actually for click and pour formulas because it minimises the chance of it being spread on to a food and accidentally sprayed into the eyes of children or pets. Also a click method is far more efficient in terms of ensuring that there is a significant amount that is applied to cover every surface area thoroughly for proper hand hygiene. Many spray formulas give false assurance with micro-mists that may not perform the function of sanitising.

Is this hand sanitiser food safe? 

It is critical that when your hands come into contact with a hand sanitiser, to know if it is food safe. Not all of these components of an over the counter hand sanitiser are actually edible and many chemical constituents have an unknown effect when ingested.. This is why we emphasise that there should be no residue on your hands which may not be food safe.  This is why the MaxClean has no fragrances or stabilisers. The isopropyl alcohol itself completely evaporates leaving no residue other than the skin soothing plant seed oils and glycerin.
