Hand sanitisers offered by essential oil, trichology brands
For those fretting over the dearth of hand sanitisers islandwide due to the coronavirus outbreak, there are still alternatives you can get your hands on.
Homegrown vegan skincare brand Handmade Heroes has launched No-No-Nasties Sanitizer ($8.90), an all-natural hand sanitiser to keep adults and little ones clean and germ-free.
Made with natural alcohol from sugarcane, together with water, glycerin, orange and eucalyptus oil, it is just as effective in killing 99.9 per cent of germs and bacteria.
It is gentle, with no tacky after-feel, and is less drying on the skin.
The No-No-Nasties Sanitizer is now available at www.handmadeheroes.com.sg, limited to two per order.
Order a minimum of $35 on the website and receive a bottle for free, with the promo code NONASTIES upon checkout. This promotion is valid only from March 4 to 18.
Local essential oil brands and even a trichology centre are also offering their own versions. Natural and free of harmful chemicals, Ollie's hand sanitiser spray is now available on its website www.itsollie.com for $6.50 as well as Lazada and Shopee for $7.50.
It contains an ethanol base, pure aloe vera leaf extract and 100 per cent pure essential oils including peppermint, orange and Australian tea tree.
You can also give your immunity a boost with Hysses' anti-bacterial hand sanitisers ($10.90) in cute animal designs.
