We can’t leave the house without our keys, phone, wallet, and now hand sanitiser. We are using it all day long, and it can be harsh on our skin, especially children’s skin.
As we enter a second wave of Coronavirus, the need for an effective hand sanitiser has never been more important. However, for children with eczema, the constant application of alcohol-based hand sanitisers can sometimes cause irritation and pain. Thankfully, there are gentler alcohol-free solutions available which provide more effective and safer protection for children and the whole family. Kindr is an alcohol-free hand sanitiser perfect for children with eczema.
A Kindr Solution for Hand Sanitiser
Children’s skin can be extremely sensitive in general. So it’s incredibly important to be mindful of what you put on their skin. The Kindr Company, has created an alcohol-free hand sanitiser, which has been designed to be gentle on children’s skin whilst still killing 99.999% of germs and bacteria. It kills viruses in under 30 seconds and is more effective than alcohol based alternatives. It leaves a protection barrier on the skin which can last for up to four hours. Unlike alcohol, which is rendered ineffective once it has evaporated in under two minutes.
This gentler and fragrance-free formula helps those living with eczema to avoid itching and burning. While avoiding irritation it also actively soothes and rehydrates their skin.
Kate Thompson, founder of the kind-to-skin hand sanitiser company, Kindr commented “As many have gone back to school, they are expected to reapply their sanitiser various times throughout the day, which can cause excruciating soreness and pain for young children. However, alcohol and fragrance-free formulas allow children with eczema to be protected without compromising their skin”.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is the name given to a group of skin conditions. With 1 in 5 children experiencing a form of eczema in the UK it’s important to be mindful of the products applied to their skin. Common symptoms include dryness, redness, and irritation of the skin, and can sometimes cause bleeding or pain. Whilst eczema can occur naturally, certain ingredients can provoke symptoms, such as alcohol or products which are highly fragranced.
