Thanks to the events of the 2020, hand sanitiser has now become a product we use daily. Bottles of sanitiser sit on tables in cafes, can be found in pretty much every shop and we bet there’s a little bottle sitting in your handbag right now.
While we still very much need to continue using hand sanitiser, there’s no doubt that it can be harsh on your hands — especially in the cooler months when your skin is more sensitive thanks to elements like wind and cold. Faced with this issue, Australian brand Grown Alchemist created a product that helps protect against bacteria while also nourishing your hands.
Enter: the brand new Anti-Bacterial Hand Cream ($32). This innovative, non-greasy hand cream combines anti-bacterial and soothing ingredients, including tea tree extract, cedarwood and ylang-ylang, to both protect hands from germs, while also nourishing skin and protecting it from environmental stressors.
The anti-bacterial element of this cream comes from the addition of cedarwood, which contains cedrene and thujopsene. These help to visibly hydrate skin while also providing astringent anti-bacterial benefits, while the tea tree extract also protects hands from germs.
For the ultimate protection, Grown Alchemist recommends pairing the Anti-Bacterial Hand Cream with the Grown Alchemist Hydra-Hand Sanitiser ($40) to make sure all the nasties on your hands are killed.
