Summer is a season of increased risk of infectious diseases, “diseases of dirty hands”

But, fortunately, there are wet wipes in the world. However, you need to be careful with antibacterial wipes. • Antiseptics based on triclosan and benzalkonium chloride tend to accumulate in the skin and, accordingly, become addictive to bacteria. • Antiseptics based on oil and alcohol do not absorb into the skin and do not accumulate in it, but evaporate quickly and have a short-term effect. In addition, alcohol dries out the skin. • Gel-based wipes last longer than alcohol wipes, retain a long-lasting effect, but are sticky. • Chlorhexidine can be considered a good antibacterial substance in wipes, although its antibacterial effect against fungi and mycobacteria is much weaker than alcohol. Read the ingredients on the packages and be healthy!
