Due to the frequency with which people are washing their hands and using hand sanitizer, brands are introducing hand sanitizer products with moisturizing properties and UK-based beauty brand Creightons created what it calls a first-of-its-kind sanitizing hand moisturizer. While people are familiar with antibacterial gels, this unique formula offers the comfort and soothing qualities of a moisturizing cream with the benefits of killing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.
The nourishing hand cream boasts an ethanol-free formula that won't dry out hands, which is a common problem with hand sanitizers that contain a high percentage of alcohol. With its unique formula, Creightons claims that it has "found a unique combination where the active ingredients have not been deactivated by the other ingredient materials." As such, there's a patent pending for the Pure Touch Moisturising Hand Cream's innovative formula.
