Is hand sanitiser safe to use?

During the coronavirus pandemic, hygiene products especially hand sanitisers have surged in demand. This has led to unethical and poorer quality products to emerge in the scene. This is why it is important to be wary of the types of hand sanitisers you are purchasing, as well the source. Avoid using ineffective and harmful hand sanitiser products, that do not meet regulations.

Low alcohol hand sanitisers should be avoided

Recent news and media headlines have revealed that hand sanitiser products have been identified ineffective and are being pulled off shelves, as the products are not what they say they are. This can be seen with the claims of a major Australian retailing company selling 23 percent alcohol hand sanitiser in their stores. This increasingly has been the case with hand sanitisers manufactured overseas and being sold in Australia. As experts state, low-alcohol hand sanitisers mean the product may have not been tested or approved with data showing they will work. In turn this means not only are the hand sanitisers potentially harmful, but they lack the needed quality control to be effective. Check the ingredients listed on the package. 

Too much alcohol is a problem too 

Just as too little alcohol is a problem, 100 percent alcohol hand sanitisers is an issue, as water is necessary to make the sanitisers effective. It's a message the World Health Organisation (WHO) is hoping to get out with the release of formulas and guidelines for making alcohol-based sanitiser at home. This highlights the importance of getting the right concentration and avoiding too little or too much alcohol in order to use the most effective hand sanitisers.

Australian-made hand sanitisers meet Australian standards 

Consumers are likely to find Australian-made products of a much higher quality compared to buying foreign brands. This is why it is important to purchase Australian made hand sanitiser products, as it means these products deliver on the expectations of the country’s high standards. Imported products and materials won’t always meet Australian regulations and standards, and so it is not worth compromising the safety and quality for a cheaper product as a consumer.

FeverMates is the sister brand with Mediband, a company making medical products for over 15 years, sold in pharmacies and used in hospitals and pharmaceutical trials.
