Mothers with children at home will focus on their children’s health and safety. Because the baby’s world has just opened, he is full of curiosity about the world, so he is interested in anything new. He often puts it in his mouth when playing with other toys or touching the floor one minute ago.
With the weather getting warmer, if you don’t pay attention to hygiene, your baby will easily be infected with bacteria, resulting in cold, fever, or diarrhea and other symptoms. So for the active baby, we need to urge him to wash his hands in time, and hand sanitizer naturally becomes a regular item at home. And the hand sanitizer with foam is easier to clean and use for babies. Not only the baby needs, but also the adults at home need to keep clean.
The hand sanitizer on the market is generally divided into two types: one is “separately cleaned”, and the other is “sterilized”. Here, we suggest that Baoma can choose the hand sanitizer with sterilization function, because it can kill most of the bacteria in life.
The hand sanitizer with sterilization function is also particularly easy to distinguish and select. Generally, the package will be marked with “bacteriostatic” words. The common hand sanitizers with germicidal ingredients are P-chloroxylenol, BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE (CAS 63449-41-2), o-Cymen-5-ol（CAS 3228-02-2）. Parachloroxylenol is a common ingredient in hand sanitizer. The concentration ranges from 0.1% to 0.4%. The higher the concentration, the better the germicidal effect. However, the higher the concentration of this product, the dry and cracked skin will be caused. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate concentration. Benzalkonium chloride is also a typical disinfection product and can also be used for disinfection of surgical operations. However, o-Cymen-5-ol is a low irritation and high efficiency fungicide, and low dose will not harm the skin.
The aliases of o-Cymen-5-ol are (4-ISOPROPYL-3-METHYLPHENOL, IPMP, BIOSOL), which can be used not only as a disinfectant in hand sanitizer, but also in cosmetics industry, such as facial cleanser, face cream, lipstick. It is also widely used in the washing industry, most of which are used in toothpaste and mouthwash.
Whether it’s face cream for babies, or hand sanitizer or shower gel. Ph value close to the skin will not cause allergy or injury. The baby’s skin is generally weakly acidic, with a ph of about 5-6.5. So when you choose daily chemical products, you need to pay attention to the content and ph value of the products. Thank you for reading. I hope this article can help you.
