Contains risk preservatives Antimicrobial ingredients are prohibited, and these hand sanitizers are

Since 2016, the US FDA has indeed issued a ban on antibacterial soap and antibacterial hand sanitizer. When it comes to antibacterial soap and antibacterial hand sanitizer, triclosan must be mentioned, as it is the main ingredient in antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer.

Triclosan is widely used in consumer hygiene, especially antibacterial and antifungal hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps. Three-quarters of hand sanitizers and more than three-thirds of antibacterial soaps on the U.S. market contain triclosan, which is not uncommon in the domestic market. What are the dangers of triclosan?

The hazards to the human body have been identified include, but are not limited to: damage to the nervous system and organs; Affects the human endocrine system; Damage to muscle tissues such as bones and heart muscle; There is a potential for carcinogenicity. As a result, the US FDA has banned the use of triclosan.

Specifically, antibacterial soaps containing antimicrobial ingredients such as triclosan are not safe for long-term use. At the same time, not only antibacterial soaps containing triclosan, but also a range of other "antibacterial soaps" are not recommended. Regular soap with plenty of running water and proper handwashing are enough to remove most bacteria and viruses.

Hand sanitizers of brands such as Drop, Moon, and Jia, which are widely used in the domestic market, claim to be triclosan free (even if they do not contain triclosan, they may contain other key ingredients that have been banned by the FDA for antibacterial soap), and should be avoided as much as possible. So, how can you effectively wash your hands without antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer? The most common soap + flowing water is enough.

According to statistics, if you do not wash your hands after using the toilet, 54% of the samples taken by hand will have fecal-derived bacteria (haha, toilet paper as thin as a cicada's wings cannot block your contact with feces), if you only wash your hands with water, it can be reduced to 23%, and if you wash your hands with water + ordinary soap, it can be reduced to less than 5%, and the effect is quite significant.

Triclosan and triclocarban in antimicrobial products have been banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from being used in biocidal products. The US FDA prohibits far more than triclosan and triclocarban, which are just the most typical representatives. In fact, as long as it is an antibacterial soap, the "bactericidal active ingredients" contained in it have entered the list of being blacklisted by the FDA.

Antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers are not only a threat to health, but on the contrary, they may also provide an opportunity to screen out for drug-resistant bacteria. If you need to get rid of germs quickly in special situations, you can use a hand sanitizer that contains more than 60% alcohol.

Antibacterial antibacterial hand sanitizer is a new product derived from traditional hand washing products, which emphasizes its antibacterial and antibacterial effect as a product feature to attract consumers' attention, and it has become a common daily necessities on the shelf. In fact, the joint effect of hand sanitizer and soap is to wash hands, and the role is also through mechanical friction and surfactants, combined with the water flow to remove dirt and bacteria from the hands. In order to be unusual, the hand sanitizer specially put forward the antibacterial ingredients contained in it, which is believed to not only be able to eliminate bacteria more effectively, but also partially inhibit the reproduction of bacteria in a certain period of time, so as to keep the hands clean and reduce the risk of infectious diseases.
