you’ll easily find a public dispenser available while out and about. Te ingredients may vary among these options, with some having fragrances added to mask chemical smells or moisturising additives mixed in to temporarily alleviate the skin-dam- aging dryness they can cause, but all of these options will likely contain at least 60% alcohol to be considered effective at killing germs.

downsides in continuing with the use of this toxic chemical as the gold standard going forward? What are the long-term risks to our health and our environment if we continue down this path and are there more effective solu- tions out there that could enable us to make a wiser choice? In a day and age where healthy


ingredients and environmental sustainability drive our purchase decisions, alcohol-based sanitisers miss the mark. Some studies have suggested that the prevalence of alcohol sanitisers could come with multiple risks, including; ‘chronic toxicity’ of the skin that could lead to health problems, such as eczema or skin cancer; antimicrobial resistance, which leads to further developments of superbugs; altered microbiome, which removes normal bacterial flora present on the skin; environmental impacts from increased spillages into water sources; and risk of death and injury from misuse, including inges- tion or accidental exposure to sensi- tive areas, such as eyes. So, what are the better options for


now and the future as we adapt to living in a world of superbugs, anti- microbial resistance and increasing strains on our environment? Beyond


being more conscious about regu- larly washing our hands and recog- nising symptoms of infection so we can isolate, there’s now an effective alternative available in the UK that offers far less risk than alcohol sani- tisers and can effectively be used for ourselves, our children and in our homes, schools and workplaces.
