Hand Sanitizers seem like a good idea when you find yourself
in a “DIRTY” situation. The public health, the media and the schools constantly
advice the kids to wash their hands to prevent the spread of illness.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) says that the
waterless hand sanitizer consists chemical ingredients that are absorbed
through skin. Especially the Triclosan
a Toxin, when constantly used in long run can cause several health and behavioural issues in Children. It also
concluded that the old fashioned use of soap (coconut oil) is good and
effective way to get rid of hazardous pathogens.
